Flu can be a very unpleasant illness for children, with potentially serious complications. The best way to protect yourself and your family against #flu is to get the flu vaccine nhs.uk/conditio…/vaccinations/child-flu-vaccine/ #StayWellThisWinter @SDTCCG

Remember, if you’re feeling unwell, antibiotics aren’t always needed. Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them puts you and your family at risk. Take your doctor or nurse’s advice when it comes to antibiotics #KeepAntibioticsWorking

Always a privilege to be invited into someone's home. Today, I met Darren. He has two kids, loves snooker and, eight-years ago, had a #stroke. He's eloquent, funny, doesn't let his condition rule his life and, importantly, has a #Flu jab every year. Thanks for having me
