Do you know what reasonable adjustments are and why we need them?

All health and care services need to ensure that they adapt and support people with disabilities to be able to access services in a way that they are accessible for everyone else. 🏥

This is called making reasonable adjustments and includes people with a physical disability, learning disability, sensory disability, or a long term health condition such as dementia 📝

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
