NHS England has launched an official NHS WhatsApp Channel to share trusted health information directly with the public.

The channel will share short, visual messages on:

• public health campaigns (e.g. flu, COVID-19)
• health alerts and seasonal advice
• key NHS updates and announcements
• myth-busting and fact-checking content

It will also encourage people to forward content onto family and friends within the app.

You can find the channel by search for ‘NHS’ under the ‘Updates’ tab directly in WhatsApp. Please also see the attached graphic for information.
