This is a point which had never occurred to me and it's something which needs addressing in that case. They need to realise that just as they can catch something easily treatable they can also catch something far more serious.

I mentioned a poster in Peel House, but that poster is directed at young people yet probably very rarely seen by young people as most of the people who sit facing it are elderly patients waiting to see the nurse for blood pressure checks and such like.

Surely posters with a hard hitting message could be put up in places where kids go?
