As the colder months approach, it’s a great time to think about how we can all stay as healthy as possible. Getting your winter vaccinations is one of the best ways to protect yourself and those around you from serious illnesses like flu and COVID-19.

We know that getting the right help from your GP practice can sometimes feel a little confusing. That’s why we wanted to share a new guide from the NHS called ‘You and Your General Practice’.

Planning a trip to Europe or certain other countries? Don’t forget your free UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)! It’s an important card that can help you get necessary state healthcare if you suddenly fall ill or have an accident while you’re away.

With measles cases recently highlighted in the news, it’s more important than ever to ensure you and your family are protected. Getting two doses of the MMR vaccine offers long-lasting protection, helping to keep our communities safe. It also helps to keep those safe who can’t have the vaccine themselves, like very young babies or people with certain health conditions.

The changes to the routine childhood immunisation schedule are designed to provide even better protection for babies and young children across the UK.
