We are witnessing growing levels of verbal and physical racist abuse faced by healthcare staff. These incidents are appalling and totally unacceptable.
NHS orgs must have zero tolerance policies in place for abusive patients. Statement from @DrHNaqvi: nhsrho.org/news/open-stateme…

*Measles cases are rising in England
It spreads easily and can cause serious illness, especially in babies, pregnant people and those with weak immune systems
MMR vaccination is safe and offers lifelong protection
For info, visit: nhs.uk/MMR
*adapted NHS post
Measles rashes can appear differently on dark or tan skin compared to light skin.
It may be harder to detect early in darker skin tones without careful observation. Delayed recognition = delayed treatment, and isolation = higher risk of spread and complications.

#Equality
GPhC and @PharmaSupport have committed to work together for the wellbeing of registrants by signing a memorandum of understanding which will provide a framework for the responsible sharing of expertise, experience, information & intelligence. Read more: tinyurl.com/2vxeh8hp
