If you see someone with any of the signs or symptoms of a stroke, remember to Act F.A.S.T.

F – Face (has their face fallen on one side?)
A – Arms (can they raise both arms and keep them there?)
S – Speech (is it slurred?)
T – Time to call 999 ☎️🚑

The safest way to prevent measles is by vaccination

A simple chat could be life saving 🗣️

If you're worried about a loved one and think they might be having a hard time, why not give them a call and talk about #mentalhealth - it might be the best thing you can do for someone who is struggling 💚

Presumably people know about the ‘OpenDyslexic’ button on JRCALC App which changes the font style?? You can also change line spacing and ‘bold’ text. Very helpful!!
