Cases of measles are rising in England. Measles is more than just a rash, and is highly infectious.  Make sure your child is up to date with their MMR vaccination to give them the best protection against becoming seriously unwell.  For more info visit nhs.uk/MMR

Let’s spread cheer not Covid this Christmas 🎅🏻

Let's stay safe this festive season. 🧪 Test before meeting people 🪟 Open windows to let fresh air in when friends and family are over 😷 Wearing a face covering when required 💉 Get your Covid-19 booster vaccine if you're over 18 🏠 Isolate if you get a positive test



As a Mum, I know that every decision you make for you and your baby is so important and pregnancy can be a very anxious time. I urge you to get the COVID-19 vaccine to protect you and your baby…

Unvaccinated women who experienced severe #COVID19 while pregnant are encouraging other expectant mums to get the vaccine 🤰🏽 Watch them tell their stories alongside the Head of Midwifery from @epsom_sthelier 👇🏽 More information: nhs.uk/conditions/cor…



For me it’s definitely been worth having “pita bread boobs” to breast feed my baby until he was 1 year old. I’m proud of my pitas! Health > vanity

It’s a debate that has raged for years - whether breast milk is best for baby, or if it’s ok to feed them with formula #stephspackedlunch @StephLunch | @sjhoneywell | @KatiePrice | @helenlawal



In my opinion #PMS is under diagnosed and I’m sure stigma about hormones plays a part in this. Track your symptoms and reach out to your GP and get help

"It's a taboo subject but it shouldn’t be". Suzi Taylor @blamethehormone is campaigning for premenstrual syndrome absence or 'period leave', to be a recognised sick day by employers. Dr @helenlawal tells @StephLunch about some of the ways of coping with PMS #stephspackedlunch



I spoke to @sinittaofficial about the challenges we face in the back community with Covid-19 and the vaccine

Watch Sinitta talk to GP Dr Helen Lawal about the #COVID19 vaccine 👇 The singer is encouraging Black people to get the vaccination when they are offered it. See the conversation in full ▶️ youtu.be/xLcwoPNieHg @sinittaofficial | @helenlawal



Tonight on Channel 5 news I discussed why the vaccine uptake is lower in certain ethnic groups; and how to stay safe as restrictions ease

"People have been waiting for this green light for a long time" People in England have been able to visit family and meet up with friends for the first time in months as some lockdown restrictions have eased. So how can we ensure we're staying safe? @DrLinda_P | @HelenLawal



If you are struggling to conceive, there are options available ... contact your GP first to talk it through #infertility #maleinfertility


Dr Helen Lawal Reposted

"This is incredibly good news, it shows that the vaccines work and it shows that vaccines save lives." @MattHancock welcomes @PHE_uk data which shows that hospitalisation and death from #COVID19 is reduced by over 75% after the first dose of the @Pfizer/@BioNTech_Group vaccine.

Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, @EAnionwu, and GP Dr @helenlawal from @OneMedGroup answer common #COVIDVaccine questions for the BAME community — from how many Black people took part in the trials, to what is in the vaccine. ➡️ pridemagazine.com/the-truth-abou…


I loved doing this demo with @StephLunch today on how to top and tail a newborn baby and learning all about her daughters toe fluff 😂


Dr Helen Lawal Reposted

‘Many of us working in the NHS are frontline working with patients and therefore we are at increased risk of COVID-19 infection.’ GP Dr @helenlawal from @OneMedGroup has had the #COVIDVaccine and encourages her colleagues to get vaccinated too. nhs.uk/covidvaccine
