Cold weather can be seriously bad for your health so it's important to look after yourself, especially during the winter. If you start to feel unwell, even if it's a cough or a cold, don't wait until it gets more serious. Seek advice from your pharmacist. buff.ly/2Bh8bD3

If you need medical advice fast but it’s not an emergency call NHS111 to be directed to the best local medical care for you. #StayWellThisWinter

During the expected cold snap this weekend please take the time to check on frail or older neighbours or relatives, especially those living alone or who have serious illnesses to make sure they are safe, warm and well #StayWarmStayWell
