TB can be treated, but catching it early makes a big difference. Don't brush it off as "just a cough." Speak to your GP practice for advice and support. 👩‍⚕️💬

Hepatitis C often shows no signs until serious damage is done. It can be treated, so testing is key to help you help reduce your risk. #WorldHepatitisDay #HepC 🔗 hepctest.nhs.uk

Hepatitis B is preventable with a vaccine. Left untreated, it can cause severe liver damage. Check with your GP, nurse or pharmacist if you think you should be vaccinated. #WorldHepatitisDay #HepB 🔗 nhs.uk/conditions/hep…
