Many states have legalized marijuana for medicinal or recreational use by adults. This holiday season, California Poison Control System (CPCS) reminds all adults to practice caution when using or serving cannabis-containing edible items such as cookies, candies, pastries or beverages during holiday events and New Year’s celebrations. These items should not be prepared or served when children or teens are present in order to minimize the risk of accidental exposure. The risk increases with edibles because children love holiday goodies and brightly colored items. See edibles video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-INP8IA9hPA.
“Children can be exposed to marijuana either by breathing in smoke or eating foods containing marijuana,” said Dr. Cyrus Rangan, Assistant Medical Director, CPCS Los Angeles. “Keep your home and car free of the smoke, and keep food or drinks in their original containers locked up away from young children or teens. Kids and cannabis don’t mix. Treat

Heatherview Medical Centre Priority groups are being identified nationally by the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). Dr Karen Kirkham, GP, Clinical lead for the Dorset Covid-19 vaccination programme, and Assistant Clinical Director of NHS Dorset CCG, said the vaccination scheme would be a marathon, rather than a sprint . She said: “As a local GP in Dorset I’m so proud of the huge local effort that has been made locally to deliver this next phase of the vaccination programme. “I’d like to say a personal thank you to all of the local GPs, nurses, pharmacists, support and logistical staff, other primary care staff, and those in the wider health and social care system who have been working round the clock to make it happen.
