Honest, timely conversations about death and dying are essential to good end of life care. Yet all too often barriers including lack of confidence, taboos around discussing death mean patients, carers and families may not understand or get all the information and support needed.

Getting lifelong protection against #measles is simple – you just need to have 2 doses of the #MMR vaccine. If you think you or a loved one isn’t up to date, contact your GP practice to book a catch up appointment.
