RT @stjohnambulance: What's an old piece of first aid that sounds ridiculous now? 😱

Measles is highly infectious and can be passed on even before a rash appears. Make sure you are protected from becoming seriously unwell from measles by making sure you are up to date with your MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccinations.

Cervical screening checks for certain types of the HPV virus that can cause cell changes to your cervix. Don't ignore your cervical screening invite & if you missed your last one, book an appointment with your GP. Cervical screening saves lives. #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth

Head lice can be difficult to spot. Anyone can catch them but pre-school children, primary school children and their families are most at risk. Treat head lice without seeing a GP. A pharmacist can recommend the best treatment.

More than 3 million unvaccinated children are at risk of catching measles in England. Make sure your child is up to date with their MMR vaccinations. You can make an appointment with your GP practice to catch up on missed doses.

Feeling unwell but not sure where to go? Contact NHS 111. They can give you expert advice and are open 24/7. Visit 111 online or call 111. #GTKWTG #NHS111
