Small children aren’t the only ones at risk of swallowing magnets. Many teens and tweens have accidentally swallowed them too.

One common scenario is when they try to create a fake tongue piercing using two magnetic balls and accidentally swallow them.

It happens so easily. But the magnets can attract to each other inside the body, sticking together and tearing holes in your child’s gut. This can cause life-changing injuries.

⚠️Please talk to older children about the dangers of putting magnets in or near their mouths.

Have you had your shingles vaccine? 💉

National data shows that less than half of eligible adults in the UK are taking up their free shingles vaccine in their first year of eligibility.

Who is eligible?
• People who turned 65 on or after 1 September 2023
• If you turned 65 before 1 September 2023, you'll be eligible for the shingles vaccine when you turn 70 up until your 80th birthday
• Severely immunosuppressed people aged 18+

Shingles can be painful, and for some people, lead to serious complications. Getting vaccinated gives the best protection.

👉 If you or a loved one is eligible, check whether you’ve had your vaccine — and if not, book an appointment at your GP practice.
