Measles cases are rising. The number of measles cases in the European region doubled last year to reach the highest level in 25 years.
Measles is a very contagious infection caused by a virus. It usually gets better on its own, but it can make some people very ill.
The main symptom of measles is a red-brown blotchy rash. You may have cold-like symptoms for a few days before the rash appears.
Measles is spread through coughs and sneezes. A person is most contagious from when symptoms develop until about 4 days after the rash first appears.

The best way to prevent measles is by having the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine can prevent measles. It also protects you from mumps and rubella.

The MMR vaccine is offered to all children in the UK. 2 doses can give lifelong protection against measles, mumps, and rubella.

Contact us if you’re not sure if you or your child have had the vaccine, it is available free on the NHS.

You may have seen recent headlines that people living with obesity will be able to begin accessing tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for weight loss purposes in primary care settings. This does not mean prescriptions will be provided immediately. It means primary care settings can begin discussions with patients about whether tirzepatide is the right option to improve their health through weight loss.

In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight around 1,000 people currently qualify for the medication based on national eligibility criteria – the ICB are working to set up services quickly however this will not be available locally until later this year (Autumn) – so please don’t contact the surgery just yet, as we will be unable to help currently.

Full qualifying criteria is a BMI of 40 or greater and FOUR or MORE of the following diagnosed health conditions:

- type 2 diabetes
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular disease
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- Dyslipidaemia

We are in for some hot and sunny weather 🌡️ ☀️

It is important that we all stay hydrated and protected from the sun, but some people are more vulnerable than others. 💦

Look out for friends and loved ones that might need more support, and remember certain health conditions can be exacerbated by hot weather.

It's learning disability week, and this year the theme is "Do you see me?"

"Do you see me?" is about making sure that people with a learning disability are are seen, heard, included, and valued in all aspects of life.

If you have a learning disability and are over 14 we will call you for a free annual health check around your birthday, but you can ask for this at any time of year.

Did you also know that we have a sensory box at reception, available to anyone who may need it.
