MEASLES

There are increasing numbers of cases of measles being reported in some areas of the UK. Advice on identifying measles and treating measles at home is available on the NHS website here.

Measles can spread to others easily and can be serious, especially in babies or in people with weakened immune systems. If you believe you or your child may have measles PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY. Please contact the surgery by phone or using our online contact system and speak to a doctor for advice.
