Just a friendly reminder that #Meningitis B #vaccines weren't part of routine #childhood immunisations until 2015. "Regular" meningitis #vaccine does not cover this strain. If you think you have symptoms, listed 👇, err on the side of caution and speak to your GP. Antibiotics are effective and easy.
No matter how #healthy you are, #death is an inevitably. But do we really understand what death and dying look like, and how do we learn more about the most natural of processes when talking about death remains taboo for many. @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social joins us to talk us through the end.
That "Mothers who regret having kids" #BBC article really got to me, so I had to post about it. #MothersDay is tomorrow and the best gift would be to value the work a #mother does every day. (Also, yes I'm on #TikTok now. Follow me!)
