#Measles can be a serious infection that can lead to complications, especially in young children & those with weakened immune systems. Measles spreads easily but it is preventable. Make sure you & your loved ones are up to date with your #MMR jabs or catch up on any missed jabs.

Many congratulations to Joe and Hayley, members of the Infection Prevention Team. They both won awards at the Chief Nurse Time out day. Joe for being Patient centred and Hayley for Empowerment. We’re so lucky to have them in the team. Well done!@LeedsHospitals Corporate Nursing

Brilliant initiative from the team.
