England reported nearly 3,000 measles cases in 2024 - mostly in unvaccinated children. Cayman’s travel links make imported measles a real risk.

💬 "I have seen what measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases can do. I have also seen how dramatically that burden lifts when vaccines are widely used. Those memories stay with me, the sick children, the frightened faces, the grieving families. And I have seen the alternative, where hospital beds remain empty of these cases because children are protected." – Dr Sara Watkin

Vaccines save countless children in the UK, Cayman, and worldwide from preventable suffering. We must protect that achievement and hold all influential voices - not just clinicians, to rigorous standards.

The process involves taking a detailed history and considering family background, as ADHD often runs in families. She also explores other potential conditions such as autism, dyslexia, and dysgraphia.

It’s back-to-school season! If you are noticing certain behaviour patterns or aspects mentioned in the video above in your child, and would like to learn more about ADHD in children, contact Dr Watkin at Optimal. Getting assessed earlier is always better!

What is the main reason hips are examined during baby checks? 👩‍🍼

As part of a baby check, an assessment is performed to look for signs of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), a condition where the hip joint does not form properly. DDH often shows no visible symptoms in the early days, but it is highly treatable if identified early.

Through gentle manipulation and observation, Dr Watkin, our Consultant Paediatrician & Neonatologist at Optimal Healthcare, makes sure any concerns are picked up and addressed promptly. ✅
