Measles, Mumps and Rubella awareness month
March 5, 2018
Calling all midwives,nurses, maternity healthcare support workers and all other colleagues who work in the maternity and neonatal unit at City Hospital, Sandwell Hospital and in the community.
Measles is no longer a virus of the past. FIVE outbreaks of measles have occurred in December 2017 (out of season) alone in England. Occupational health will be having a ‘pop up’ clinic in City Maternity Department on Wednesday 7 March.
The occupational health nurses will be able to access occupational health records to check MMR status and will also be able to administer MMR vaccinations.
The MMR ‘pop up’ clinics will be in the antenatal clinic at City Hospital between 9am-12noon and in the discharge lounge (outside ADAU) from 12.30pm and 4pm.
Any colleague can contact occupational health and wellbeing service on extension 3306 to check their MMR status and book an appointment if necessary.
