The NHS offers screening, free of charge, to identify pre-existing health problems of which you may not be aware, nor be exhibiting any symptoms. The NHS screening may be as part of a national programme for specific demographic groups or may be opportunistic screening when a patient discusses a related problem with their GP.
MEASLES and the MMR Vaccine
In recent years the uptake of childhood vaccinations has steadily declined in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland (LLR). The decline locally in our area has been more dramatic than the national trend. This leaves our children and, through them, our entire population, more exposed to the risk of catching many vaccine-preventable diseases.
