Strep A

The NHS is experiencing increased activity at the moment, likely due to concerns around Strep A. Please find attached a social media asset directed at parents to help them get more information and to support using the right services. A new page has been specifically created for Strep A - NHS (www.nhs.uk) please direct people to this page if they have any concerns.

When sharing the social asset, please use the below copy:

Most strep A infections are mild and easily treated, but some are more serious.
