A healthy girl who doted on her cuddly Winnie-the-Pooh bear, Lorelei Cowmeadow seemed 'a bit under the weather' last November. She died a few days later - just before her second birthday.

What is the cost of delaying treatment of HSV Encephalitis in the UK? Read our latest paper to find out more about the impact on quality of life and cost to the NHS. 👉💷🧠 https://t.co/KUZxHV0kiL

This study suggests that early treatment may be associated with better health outcomes and reduced patient healthcare costs, with a potential for savings to the NHS with faster treatment.

After years of campaigning by PATIENT groups & @BrainIIGroup, the chickenpox vaccine is now going to be offered to all children on the NHS. No longer will this only be accessible to those wealthy enough to afford it. This will save lives from Brain Infection #Encephalitis
“Unusually, the UK is behind the curve on this.” A vaccine against chickenpox is going to be rolled out for young children on the NHS in England from January. Adam Finn, Professor Of Paediatrics at Bristol University, tells #R4Today that it is long overdue.
