GP consultations for respiratory tract infections in children aged <5 years are ~15% lower than pre-COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the increase (~60%) in bacterial infections in December 2022 warrants monitoring doi.org/10.3399/BJGP... @kafoley.bsky.social @arc-nwl.bsky.social #PrimaryCare

#EUPHW2025 may be over, but the movement continues. 💬 From local events to global voices, this week proved that real change in public health happens together. As @charlottemar.bsky.social says: “EUPHW is not a moment. It’s a movement.”

European Public Health Week 2025 was our biggest yet — thanks to the small but mighty team behind the scenes.

This year, we marked two exciting milestones:
🌍 Record number of events
🏛️ First-ever launch event in @europarl.europa.eu

From logistics to content, they made it happen.
