Specialist dementia support coming to Newport high street
Dementia UK's Admiral Nurse clinics will return to Wales this summer, offering free face-to-face support at selected Nationwide branches, including Newport, in a familiar and private setting. The clinics, delivered by Dementia UK's specialist Admiral Nurses, are open to anyone affected by dementia and provide practical and emotional guidance on everything from memory concerns and diagnosis to financial planning and legal matters. Ruby Guild, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said: "We're looking forward to returning to Wales. "Nationwide branches offer a safe and private space for people to access specialist support for dementia, and the Fairer Futures partnership is helping us bring face-to-face support to people in a familiar location." Nationwide's Newport branch, located at 33/34 Commercial Street, will host the clinics on July 1, 2, and 3. Appointments can be booked through Dementia UK's website. Debbie Crosbie, chief executive officer of Nationwide, said: "Nationwide wants to help people live their best life possible, for as long as possible. "By working with Dementia UK to fund more Admiral Nurses and turning our branches into dementia clinics, we're helping to tackle the country's leading cause of death. "We believe this and Nationwide Fairer Futures will change hundreds of thousands of lives for the better." The clinics are part of Nationwide's Fairer Futures social impact programme, which focuses on four major UK issues: family poverty, youth homelessness, dementia, and cancer. Through this partnership, Nationwide is funding 30 Admiral Nurses and will have hosted dementia clinics in 200 branches by the end of the summer.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 45, reveals breast cancer diagnosis
's Monyetta Shaw-Carter revealed she is battling breast cancer. The reality TV star, 45, opened up about being diagnosed with with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma in November 2024. 'I had a biopsy about 10 years ago and it came back benign,' she told People. 'Then last year in September I was doing a self-check because I felt this random sensation that I can't really describe in my left boob. 'It was like nothing I've ever felt before. It was literally like my body was alerting me that something was wrong.' She found the lump in her breast just one month after her annual mammogram. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Monyetta was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer in November 2024 After a lumpectomy in January and 16 rounds of radiation, she rang the bell on May 2 to mark the end of her treatment. 'Because I caught the cancer early, I will be here for my kids,' she said. 'There's nothing more important than getting checked often and early to protect your future. 'Our health is irreplaceable. I can't thank my exceptional doctors and nurses enough. They are our heroes!' Monyetta completed her treatment last month and is thrilled that part of her life is over. 'It was obviously one of the hardest and scariest moments of my life,' she said about the moment she got the call from her doctors saying she had cancer. 'Everything around me stopped. My heart dropped. I was afraid. I was angry. I was just numb,' she added. At first, Monyetta considered having a double mastectomy but since her results didn't mandate that she only had a lumpectomy. 'It's so important for me to share this story because I hope to inspire others not to dismiss their gut feeling,' Shaw-Carter told the outlet. 'Our body speaks to us and when it does we have to listen. It can be a matter of life or death.' Moynetta gained strength from her husband Heath Carter but she also needed to tell her her ex-fiancé, singer Ne-Yo, whom she shares daughter Madilyn 'Maddie,' 14, and son, Mason, 13. 'We actually told him when we were all there, my husband, and Ne-Yo, Maddie and Mason, and some of Maddie's friends, were at a bowling alley, celebrating Maddie's birthday,' she said. 'The kids were talking and playing and bowling. And we took him to the side and told Ne-Yo the news, and the shock that was on his face said it all,' she said. 'He was just super supportive. 'Ne-Yo was just showing up for me in a major way and just always asking and making sure everything was okay. He was like, "Oh, you're gonna beat this."' She also got a lot of support from her Real Housewives of Atlanta castmates – especially Kandi Burruss. 'When I told Kandi she immediately was like, "Oh, my gosh, what can I do?" She's been so super supportive. 'She came by, sent, like, the biggest stuff, like her, and my other friends are in competition with who can send me the biggest flower arrangements.' Sheree Whitfield has also been a lot of support for Moynetta during her illness. 'And she just gave me all kinds of like, "Oh, my gosh, girl, like, how? I couldn't imagine! Okay, let me go and make sure I check mine." 'I've just received huge support from the girls,' she said. 'I don't think any of the other girls know, so they will be finding out and I know I will be getting phone calls very soon to that effect.'

Doctors are threatening fresh strike action after the Government today offered a 'woefully inadequate' pay rise of 4 per cent. Despite ministers accepting a series of recommendations by public sector pay review bodies, trade union bosses put Labour on notice of a possible 'summer of discontent'. Among the pay offers announced this afternoon, teachers and school leaders in England will also receive a 4 per cent pay rise. Most members of the Armed Forces will be given a 4.5 per cent pay hike, while nurses, midwives and physiotherapists will see their salaries boosted by 3.6 per cent.
