- If you come down with a winter bug – Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you come down with a winter bug and do not feel well enough to carry on with your normal activities. Follow self-care tips from www.nhs.uk or your local pharmacy.
- If you’re ill or injured and it’s not life-threatening, and you are not sure where to go, visit 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for advice. The 111 service will book you into NHS services if needed.
- Follow the latest advice during the winter period, on local NHS social media channels and websites.
- Please do everything you can, as a relative or carer of someone in hospital, to work with us to get patients home from hospital as quickly and safely as possible, with additional support if necessary from your local NHS community services or adult social care teams.
- Boost your immunity—if you are eligible, get a COVID-19 booster, flu vaccination or RSV vaccination without delay, if you haven’t already.
