Guidance for risk assessment, infection control and prevention

The UKHSA announced a national measles incident in January 2024 following an increase in confirmed cases.

In response to this, the ICB has issued guidance on risk assessment and infection prevention control measures.

In order to support you, our team has produced guidance summarising the measures to be taken in community pharmacy.
