We've got a couple of Bank Holidays on the horizon. If you have a repeat prescription make sure you've got enough to see you through.

The NHS App is a great option. You can quickly and easily request your repeat prescription. And if you turn on notifications, you’ll get messages and appointment reminders as soon as they’re sent.

You can also view your GP health record in record time, get your test results faster before they arrive in the post and more. All when it suits you.

Discover what you can do in the NHS App today, visit www.nhs.uk/nhsapp .
Tap the NHS App.

Thank you all for being great participants! Keep finding ways to stay active and spend time outdoors. 💪🏃‍➡️

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.

Stay well this winter and help stop the spread😷🦠

📌Take common sense steps to reduce the spread of flu and other similar illnesses by exercising good respiratory and hand hygiene and staying away from others if you have symptoms.

📌Self-care is often the best choice to treat minor illnesses. Pharmacists are qualified to give advice about different health matters, including minor illnesses, so consider speaking to a pharmacist before going to your GP.

📌And if eligible get your flu vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine and RSV vaccine.

Feeling under the weather? Home is the best place for you if you are experiencing seasonal illness like cold or flu. Stay in the warm and rest until you feel better. Avoid going out and spreading germs to those who might be vulnerable.
