What a fantastic day at the Family Festival yesterday. Our amazing School Nursing and Health Visiting Public Health teams were out in force - chatting with families and sharing health advice and showing everyone the vital work we do to support children and young people across our schools. It was a real highlight to see our team with the community and even catching up with the Mayor

Great fun had by all today at the HAF kids club with Wye Circus CIC. We guessed 'what is in the shopping bag' looked at what makes up a healthy meal, guessed how much sugar is in our foods and had a go at making healthy lunchboxes 🍎

The HPV vaccine is routinely offered each year to boys and girls in year 8 (aged 12-13) to help protect them against catching the HPV infection which causes nearly all cervical cancers, and is linked to cancers of the mouth, throat, a**s, p***s and va**na.

GP practices across England will send invites via letters, emails, texts and the NHS App to patients aged 16-25 whose records show they did not get their HPV vaccination in school.

We’re calling on all parents to return their children’s HPV vaccination consent forms promptly. This simple action could protect children from developing cancer in the future. It’s never too late to get protected and for young adults up to age 25, who missed their school vaccinations, we are encouraging people to speak to their GP about catch-up options.
