Thankyou @pennydoherty17 for your dedication and commitment. You have had such an impact on our patients and staff @UHSFT
A sad day for the IPT today as the fabulous @pennydoherty17 retired. A phenomenal 40 years in nursing, 11 of which were spent in the team. Thankyou Penny for everything. We will miss you 🥰 @UHSFT

Heartbreaking to read of a child in the UK dying from an entirely preventable infectious disease. Measles can be a vicious & deadly illness. The MMR vaccine offers superb protection & there is NO link between the vaccine and autism, contrary to what many medical charlatans try to scaremonger.
Please know that NHS doctors & nurses like me would never urge you to do something that could endanger your child.
Really reliable NHS info on vaccines can be found here. Please read, it’s excellent:

🚫 🦠 It’s very important not to visit patients staying with us if you’re unwell with diarrhoea or vomiting.
We're asking visitors not to come to our hospitals if they, or people they live with, have had these symptoms within the past three days.
