Spotlight on Summer Health May 2012

 

Welcome to MIMS Spotlight, your regular round up of essential prescribing news and resources by disease area.

 

With summer in full swing, this issue of MIMS Spotlight centres on hay fever and travel vaccination.

 

A recent high-profile case of malaria is a reminder of the need for everyone to take adequate health precautions before heading abroad. Even for people holidaying in the UK, a GP's advice and treatment can minimise the misery of summer problems such as
hay fever and sunburn.

 

Keep up to date on the latest developments in summer health with our selection of news, patient resources and quick-reference MIMS prescribing aids, highlighted below.
