If you're pregnant, it is important to get vaccinated for #WhoopingCough. The vaccine will protect your baby in the first few weeks of their life. 🤰🛡️ Speak to your GP or midwife to find out more and book an appointment. Hear from Rickell at @WalsallHcareNHS in this video👇

Top tips from last weeks world hand hygiene day @SWBHnhs 1. Always wet your hands first before applying soap. 2. One shot of soap or sanizer is plenty! Over use of soap can contribute to dry skin. 3. Apply moisturiser to the back of your hands first, leave your palms until last.
