According to NHS experts, there is no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism💊

It remains the recommended pain relief for pregnant women when used as directed 🤰

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and NHS guidance are clear:

✅ Paracetamol is safe to use in pregnancy.
✅There is no proven link to autism

So if you're expecting and need pain relief, you can feel confident following NHS advice 🩺

Always speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist if you have any concerns.

It’s Organ Donation Week! (22–28 September) 💗🎗️

This week, we’re asking you, the people of Hertfordshire, to help shine a light on the life-saving power of organ donation.

Right now, over 8,000 people in the UK are waiting for a transplant, a second chance at life.

Sadly, more than 400 people died last year while waiting. But you can help change that.

💡 Did you know?
✅ One donor can save or transform up to 9 lives
✅ The UK has a presumed consent system, but your family still needs to know your decision
✅ It takes just 2 minutes to register your choice on the NHS Organ Donor Register

📝 Here’s how you can help:
🔹 Register your decision: https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/helping-you-to-decide/about-organ-donation/nhs-organ-donor-register/
🔹 Talk to your loved ones
🔹 Share this post to spread the word

Let’s make sure no one waits in vain.

As many families gear up for their summer holidays, health officials are raising concerns about a rise in measles cases across several European countries and other popular destinations.

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can lead to serious complications, especially in young children and those who haven’t been fully vaccinated. Travelling to areas with active outbreaks increases the risk of exposure.

What you can do to protect your family👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
✅ Make sure your child is up to date with their MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccinations.
✅ Speak to your GP if your child has missed any doses.
✅ Know the symptoms: high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a red rash.
✅ If symptoms appear during or after travel, seek medical advice straight away and mention any recent travel.

Stay informed. Stay vaccinated. Stay safe. 💉

We love celebrating inclusion and excellence at East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust 🌟

We’re thrilled to share that the Ambulatory Care Centre and Medical Day Unit (ACC/MDU) at the New QEII Hospital have become the first department in our Trust to receive official Purple Star recognition! 💙

Led by the incredible Aimée Saunders and her dedicated team, ACC/MDU has gone above and beyond to embed the Purple Pledges, a powerful set of standards inspired by Hertfordshire County Council's Purple Star initiative. These pledges ensure that people with learning disabilities receive inclusive, personalised care every step of the way.

⭐Easy-read appointment letters
⭐Use of the Purple Folder to understand patient preferences
⭐Quieter spaces for those who need them
⭐Extended appointment times
⭐Visible safeguarding info & open feedback channels

This is more than just a recognition, it’s a movement towards equity in healthcare, and a shining example of what compassion, teamwork, and commitment can achieve.

Huge congratulations to the ACC/MDU team, your work is changing lives and setting a gold standard for inclusive care across the NHS! 👏
