Preventable childhood infections can have a huge impact on a child’s life. They can miss out on education due to time spent unwell, be hospitalised, have life-long complications such as deafness, blindness and paralysis. Sometimes they can even cause death.

Childhood immunisation is one more way to help keep them safe.

To see if your child is up to date with their childhood vaccinations, check their red book, or contact your GP practice.

Cervical screening can determine whether you have human papillomavirus (HPV) and changes in your cells that could go on to develop into cancer if left untreated. If you are aged between 25 and 64 it's important to book and attend for screening when invited.

If at any time you feel something isn't right, don’t wait, contact your GP.
