A sad day for the IPT today as the fabulous @pennydoherty17 retired. A phenomenal 40 years in nursing, 11 of which were spent in the team. Thankyou Penny for everything. We will miss you ๐ฅฐ @UHSFT

Heartbreaking to read of a child in the UK dying from an entirely preventable infectious disease. Measles can be a vicious & deadly illness. The MMR vaccine offers superb protection & there is NO link between the vaccine and autism, contrary to what many medical charlatans try to scaremonger.
Please know that NHS doctors & nurses like me would never urge you to do something that could endanger your child.
Really reliable NHS info on vaccines can be found here. Please read, itโs excellent:

Take regular breaks throughout your day to recharge and avoid stress overload. A 5-10 minute break to stretch, breathe, or walk can make all the difference in your mental well-being. #StressAwarenessMonth #BreakTime #MentalHealthMatters #InfectionPrevention

๐ซ ๐ฆ Itโs very important not to visit patients staying with us if youโre unwell with diarrhoea or vomiting.
We're asking visitors not to come to our hospitals if they, or people they live with, have had these symptoms within the past three days.
