Malaria is a serious illness spread by mosquitoes – and you can catch it from a single bite.🦟

Malaria is common in many tropical parts of the world, so it's worth visiting TravelHealthPro to check country‑specific advice before you go: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/

✈️🌍 Wherever you’re travelling, make sure you’re protected before you go.

Travel vaccinations help protect you and your loved ones from serious illnesses abroad — but did you know some vaccines require multiple doses and need to be given weeks or days before travel to provide full protection? ⏳💉

That’s why it’s important to check what you need as soon as you book your trip.

The 22nd of April was Earth Day.

A day to raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage action to protect our planet.

Small changes in daily habits, such as reducing waste and using resources more responsibly, can have a positive impact over time.

Looking after the environment also supports long-term public health and wellbeing.
