How Cryotherapy can help to ease the symptoms of eczema Eczema is a general term used for rash-like conditions wherein the skin becomes inflamed, itchy, rough, cracks, and may also form blisters. It’s among the most common skin conditions and affects 31.6 million people in the US, the prevalence of which peaks in early childhood. Even though it is not contagious, the majority of individuals may have eczema for the rest of their lives; flare-ups only happen sporadically, and patients must deal with the symptoms for several weeks even after it is treated.

On the evening of Thursday 23rd March My Sevenoaks Community and Sevenoaks Medical Centre will be holding a free drop-in session for people to learn CPR skills.  Knowing how to perform CPR is an important skill that saves lives, and is a skill that everyone should know. Currently less than 10% of people survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest. But CPR can help improve those odds. If it is performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival. The training will be led by Jamie Morrison, Sevenoaks Medical Centre’s Clinical Skills and Lead Resuscitation

We’re now a generation of ‘conscious consumers’ who want to keep the planet happy with informed, eco-savvy purchases.Today, gym wear must do so much more than simply be stretchy – we’re looking for fashion, functionality and sustainability all at once AND for a reasonable price.

Recently, My Sevenoaks Community met with long-term Sevenoaks resident Sarah Grant for a coffee and a chat. It didn’t take long before we were won over by the warmth of her character, and the enthusiasm she expressed for the wonderful work that she does.

Juggling life as a mother to three small children, Sarah decided to use her natural creative flare and interest in fashion and design, to make bespoke children’s clothing. This enabled her to combine parenting,
