One minute it’s sunny 🌞… next minute it’s cloudy ⛅- but its the UV levels you need to watch!

That means you can still burn, even when it doesn’t feel that hot.

If you’re out enjoying the sunshine, remember:
🧴 Use SPF 50
🕶️ Protect your eyes
👒 Cover up where you can
💧 Stay hydrated

Sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer - but it’s easy to prevent.

Measles is back… and we’re seeing more cases than we should!

It doesn’t always look serious at first.
High temperature. Runny nose. Cough. Sore eyes. Easy to mistake for a cold.

But a few days later, the rash appears and by then, it can already be spreading.

Measles can make people seriously unwell.

The protection is simple: the MMRV vaccine.

👉 Check you and your child are up to date
👉 Speak to your GP if you’re unsure

Don’t wait. Just check.
