THE News has teamed up with NHS Dudley Public Health to bring readers a new online health section, brimming with news, help and advice.

Healthy Living features a wide range of articles on health-related issues and will give details of all the borough's latest health initiatives with links to get more information.

Today you will find advice on free NHS health checks for the over-40s, staying safe in the sun, cervical screening, alcohol and its effects, and why quitting smoking during pregnancy can help mums-to-be and their babies.

And there is also news that 18 pharmacies in the borough have signed up to a new initiative aimed at helping local people lead a healthier lifestyle.

The section will be updated regularly to make sure readers get the latest information to help them keep healthy.

Our new online Healthy Living sections can be found on our Dudley, Stourbridge and Halesowen websites. Click below to see your section.
