MenB needs close and prolonged contact to spread, such as living in the same household or intimate contact such as kissing or sharing drinks and vapes. It is not as contagious as other infections like measles or COVID-19. Learn more ➡️ ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2026/03/18…

Measles is circulating in communities in North London, with a number of cases having been identified in recent weeks. Measles spreads quickly and can be serious, so it’s important to make sure your child is protected. Two doses of the MMR vaccine — given at 1 year and 3 years 4 months — provide long-lasting protection against measles, mumps and rubella. If your child has missed a vaccination, contact your GP practice to catch up. Adults who missed out in childhood can also have the MMR vaccine at any time. Find out more at nhs.uk/MMR

Headline reads 'London Ambulance Chief Executive statement on Bondi beach.

During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and they will need to prioritise life saving care. If you require medical help over the weekend, please continue to use NHS 111 and in emergencies please call 999.

An update on the steps we are taking to keep the public safe in London, in particular Jewish communities, following the major incident in Manchester earlier today.
While details of the major incident in Greater Manchester this morning are still emerging, it will understandably have significantly increased fear and concern in Jewish communities across the UK, including here in London. While there is nothing to suggest an increased threat to London, we have deployed additional resources to the areas around synagogues, other Jewish community venues and in those boroughs with significant Jewish populations. This is in addition to the officers that are already deployed in those areas as part of our existing policing plan for the Jewish High Holy Days. We are reviewing events due to take place in London in the coming days in light of this morning’s incident to ensure all appropriate measures are taken to provide reassurance and keep the public safe.
