The NHS is calling on pregnant women from 28 weeks to get the RSV vaccine and protect their newborns from serious illness.
RSV is a major cause of hospitalisations in young children – but one vaccine during pregnancy offers protection from birth.

⚠️ Together with @MHRAgovuk, we’re advising the public to stop using certain non-sterile alcohol-free wipes, as they may be contaminated with Burkholderia stabilis.

ALT Cleaning wounds or broken skin? Only use wipes marked as ‘sterile’. Check your first aid kit: • Sterile wipes only • Undamaged packaging • In-date products

A blotchy, sometimes raised, rash is one of the signs of #Measles. It’s not usually itchy, and it can look different on different skin tones. 🧒🏼🔴🧒🏾
If you think you or your child has measles, contact your GP practice urgently or call NHS 111. 📞

Have you used the famous e-Bug snot gun runway experiment in your classroom?
#IPC week is the perfect time to showcase this!
It supports students learning to understand why respiratory hygiene matters and what good practice looks like.
