Scarlet fever may feel like old news, but it remains fairly common in the UK. Watch out for: 😩 a sore throat 🌡️ fever 🔍 a sandpaper-like rash. It's easily treated with antibiotics, but early action matters. Visit our blog post for full symptoms: ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2026/09/21…

Today would've been the legendary Freddie Mercury's 80th birthday.  Instead of celebrating with us, Freddie died aged 45 from pneumonia on 24 November 1991 - just a day after publicly sharing that he was HIV positive. Make sure you listen to Queen today 🎵👑

According to our recent survey, half of people affected by dementia struggle to access or coordinate support after diagnosis. That’s why we’re launching #PromiseToCare next week. Will you ask your MP to back the campaign and help us show why change is needed: action.dementiauk.org/invite…
A group of individuals is illustrated. Above them, bold pink text states: "50% of people affected by dementia find health and social care support difficult to access or coordinate." At the bottom, text reads: "Source: Dementia UK survey, June 2026."
