Let's Build a Community...

Hello and welcome to the Official Great Homer Street Medical Centre page! I am sure most of you are aware of what we are all about already, but for the odd few that aren’t allow me to give you the brief rundown. At GHSMC we pride ourselves on delivering the best care possible to our patients. Through our care we aim to empower our patients throughout each department in order to allow them to lead healthier lives. We do this through building relationships with our patients and our social media channels are an extension of this ideal. The overall purpose of this page (and our other social media channels) is to build a community space for our patents to interact with both each other and ourselves allowing your voice to be heard.

💙 September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month 💙

Not many people have heard of Pulmonary fibrosis, but its a serious lung condition that makes it harder to breathe as time goes on. Early signs can be things like a stubbon cough, getting out of breath quicker than usual, or just feeling more tired than normal.

We want our community to know the signs, and not to brush them off. If you're worried about your breathing, or you've noticed changes you can't explain, have a chat with us, it's always better to get checked out.

Let's spread the word and help folks spot the symptoms early. Every conversation could make a difference. 💬💙

🌟🐶 Happy International Dog Day from All of Us at Great Homer Street Medical Centre 🌟🐶

Did you know having a dog isn't just great for cuddles and company - it can actually do wonders for your health? Dogs bring a bit of sunshine to the day. They get us moving with daily walks, help lower stress, and boost our mood when things get rough. Plus, having a furry friend means you're never really alone.

If youve got a dog or thinking about getting one, remember your not just gaining a pet - you're adding a little health and happiness to your life to. Let's celebrate the joy our four legged friends bring, today and every day!

A message to all our patients at Great Homer Street Medical Centre following media reports that a child has died after contracting measles.

Measles is circulating in the community, and MMR vaccination rates are at levels that will not provide sufficient herd immunity. We are seeing more cases of measles in our children and young people because fewer people are having the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles and two other viruses called Mumps and Rubella. Very sadly, a child has recently died in Alder Hey Hospital from Measles related illness. Sixteen other children with Measles are ill enough to require care in Alder Hey. Whilst concerns over vaccination are understandable, no-one wants to cause harm to their children, the vaccines are safe and protect people from what is a dangerous illness.

If you or your child are not vaccinated against Measles, please contact Great Homer St MC or go to the Alder Hey AE. Both are offering the vaccinations. Help us to prevent any further deaths from Measles.

The following link sets out the support for the vaccine from group of specialists and experts: https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-media-reports-that-a-child-has-died-after-contracting-measles/
