Scarlet fever is a contagious infection that mainly affects children and can cause a sore throat, fever and a distinctive rash.

Early recognition and treatment are important to help reduce the risk of complications and limit spread. Community pharmacies can also offer advice on managing symptoms and when further medical care is needed, making them a helpful first point of contact for many minor illnesses. Knowing the signs and where to get help can support quicker recovery. 🌡️👶🩺✨

The MMRV vaccine protects against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chickenpox) and is an important part of the childhood vaccination schedule.

If your child has missed any vaccines, or if you have recently moved to the UK from another country, it is never too late to catch up. The NHS offers free catch-up vaccinations to help ensure children and adults are protected and up to date. Checking your vaccination record and booking missing doses can help protect both your family and the wider community. 💉🛡️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨

📣PATIENT UPDATE

👤Meet Emma - our new virtual receptionist
We are excited to inform our patients of an important change to the way we handle incoming telephone calls to The Ransome Practice.

❓WHO IS EMMA?
Emma is our new intelligent phone system that will answer all incoming calls to the practice. She will guide you through a few simple steps and help you submit your request by filling out either our medical or admin triage form, providing requested information, taking detailed messages, or signposting you to the relevant service. She is private and secure.

❓HOW DOES EMMA WORK?
- Call as normal; Emma answers straightaway and asks a few quick questions so she can handle your call
- Emma will handle your query, including completing a Total Triage form, as per our current triage process
- Emma sends requests directly to the appropriate clinical team - she DOES NOT replace human staff, nor does she decide who is seen: clinicians still make all clinical decisions
- Our team is still here. EMMA helps them help you, which means more time for clinical work and faster admin.

❓HOW WILL EMMA BENEFIT YOU?
- ⏰No queues: Emma answers all calls simultaneously, meaning you will never have to wait on hold for your call to be answered
- 👏Fully accessible - Emma can fill out Total Triage forms on your behalf, request appointments, order prescriptions, provide requested information, and deal with other admin queries
- 🚀Quicker processing of requests - this frees up our clinical and administrative teams so they can focus more on delivering the support and care that our patients need
-🏃‍➡️ No 8am rush
- 🗣️Translation service - Emma speaks several languages, with additional languages being added soon

❓WHEN DOES EMMA START?
Emma will go live on Tuesday 24th February 2026 for a short period in the afternoon, gradually increasing in time over the next week.

📣If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the surgery.

Children’s dental health is an important part of overall wellbeing, and simple daily habits can help protect young teeth for life.

Drinks that are high in sugar and acidity can damage tooth enamel and increase the risk of decay. Encouraging water or milk, brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, and regular dental check-ups can all support healthy smiles. Starting good oral health habits early can make a lasting difference. 🦷🪥💙✨
