Measles is very contagious, so even a small decline in vaccine uptake can lead to a rise in cases. Vaccination rates are the lowest they have been in a decade, which is giving measles a chance to get a foothold in our communities, especially among young children.

👩‍⚕️🩺Yesterday our lovely GP Partner Dr Leigh had wonderful time visiting a local preschool to talk to the children about what it's like to be a Doctor.

The children enjoyed seeing some of the equipment used in the surgery, learning what doctors do, and asking lots of fantastic questions!

Dr Leigh explained how tools such as stethoscopes help doctors look after people and reassured the children that visiting the doctor is nothing to be afraid of.

Building confidence from a young age can help make healthcare experiences more positive, and it was lovely to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm from the children 👪
