Stay well this winter – advice from the NHS
The NHS is urging people across Norfolk and Suffolk to take simple steps to stay
healthy and well this winter. Information, advice and support are available to help
you, your family and your loved ones look after your physical and mental wellbeing
throughout the season.
One of the most effective things you can do is take up any vaccination offers you are
eligible for. Vaccinations can help protect you from serious illness and reduce the
impact of winter viruses on you and those around you.
The NHS is also encouraging people to stay active, eat well, keep warm and stay
connected with friends, family and their local community. Keeping a well-stocked
medicine cabinet at home can also help you manage common winter illnesses
quickly and comfortably should they arise.
If you do need support, choosing the right service can help get you the help you
need, quicker. Your local pharmacy can provide advice and treatment for several
common conditions without the need for a GP appointment, while NHS 111 can help
with urgent physical, mental and dental health problems.
