All children in Scotland aged 2 years and over can get vaccinated against flu using a simple, pain-free nasal spray.

Not only does the vaccine help protect the child against flu, it also reduces the risk of passing the virus to others.

NHS Scotland: How does your weekly drinking add up?

It's recommended that you don't drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread out over at least 3 days, to keep the risks from alcohol low. This is the same for both men and women.

But what does that look like for you?

Sticking to a maximum of 14 units of alcohol per week can reduce the risk of health issues, such as breast, mouth and throat cancer. 

Find out how your drinking adds up at count14.scot

Veterans - do you know about the Veteran Friendly GP Practice accreditation scheme?

There are 2.2 million Armed Forces veterans in England. We are proud to support the RCGP’s Veteran Friendly GP Practice accreditation scheme, enabling practices to deliver the best possible care and treatment to patients who have served in the Armed Forces. It’s part of the health commitments enshrined in the Armed Forces Covenant.

Veteran Friendly GP practices have a specially trained clinical lead for veterans’ health and support veteran patients to access dedicated health services. Nearly 1,100 practices are now Veteran Friendly accredited through the scheme run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement.

Calling all UK GP practices: are you part of the Veteran Friendly GP Practice accreditation scheme?

There are 2.2 million Armed Forces veterans in England. Studies suggest veterans may be less likely to seek help if they feel their healthcare professional won’t understand their health needs.

The Veteran Friendly GP Practice accreditation scheme supports practices to deliver the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the Armed Forces. It also provides important reassurance to veterans that a practice understands their specific health needs and can support them.

Nearly 1,100 GP practices are now accredited through this scheme and the simple process starts with the completion of a short form.

The Veteran Friendly GP Practice accreditation scheme is run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement. Find out more at rcgp.org.uk/veterans
