You should be offered the RSV vaccine around the time of your 28 week antenatal appointment. If you haven’t heard by this stage, contact your maternity service or GP practice to make an appointment.

Having the vaccine in week 28 or within a few weeks of this will help you build a good level of antibodies to pass on to your baby before birth. This will give your baby the best protection, including if they are born early.

Ordering medicines when they aren’t needed can mean you end up with more than you need in your cupboard. Small changes in managing our medicines can make a big difference and help reduce medicine waste in West Yorkshire.

Medicine waste and throwing medicines away incorrectly not only costs money but also harms the environment.

Help stop waste. Check before you reorder and only order the medicines you actually need.

While many people enjoy warmer summer weather, hot weather can cause some people to become unwell through overheating (becoming uncomfortably hot), dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Keep out of the sun at the hottest time of the day, between 11am and 3pm

Keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun
if you do go outside, cover up with suitable clothing such as an appropriate hat and sunglasses, seek shade and apply sunscreen

Drink plenty of fluids and limit your alcohol intake

Check on family, friends and neighbours who may be at higher risk of becoming unwell, and if you are at higher risk, ask them to do the same for you

Help us reduce medicines waste

Around £18 million is wasted in West Yorkshire every year on unused medicines. This includes inhalers, pain medication and creams, across our region.

By only ordering what we need we can make sure NHS resources go where they are most needed and reduce the environmental impact of avoidable medicines waste.

If you've been asked to have a blood test by a medical professional, you can now book blood tests online for our Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) - it's quick and easy!

The centres are at Seacroft Hospital, James Reed House in Beeston, and Armley Moor Health Centre.

We hope this will be more convenient for many patients and will reduce waiting times.

If you have been referred for a blood test, book online at www.leedsth.nhs.uk/book-a-blood-test

If you are unable to use a mobile phone or computer to book online, same-day appointments are still available at these centres, but you may have to wait longer, so please pre-book online if possible. You can also book online for a relative or friend if they need help.
