help to stay well this winter

NHS stay well this winter

Some important information from the NHS to help you stay well this winter.

NHS have made changes to how they provide care to make it safer for you during the coronavirus pandemic. If you’re worried about your health, don’t delay – help us help you get the care you need this winter.

Winter conditions can be bad for our health, especially for people aged 65 or older, and people with long-term conditions such as heart or kidney disease, COPD, bronchitis, emphysema, asthma or diabetes.

Being cold can raise the risk of increased blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. The cold and damp weather, ice, snow and high winds can all aggravate any existing health problems and make us more vulnerable to respiratory winter illnesses. But there are lots of things you can do to stay well this winter.


Five things NHS recommend you do:

1, Make sure you get your flu jab.

2, Keep your home at 18°C (65°F) or higher

if you can.

3, Take advantage of financial schemes and discounts to help you pay for heating.

4, Contact NHS 111 if you are worried about

any symptoms.

5, Look out for other people who may need

a bit of extra help over the winter.

“ All aboard ” Vision’s first movie night We will be hosting a Polar express themed movie night! At the vision hut on Tuesday 16th December Imagine stepping into the hut transformed into a magical winter wonderland. Soft twinkle lights glow like stars, casting a warm shimmer across blankets and pillows arranged to resemble seats on the Polar Express itself. A golden train ticket for each guest rests on the cushions, inviting everyone aboard for the night’s adventure. The smell of rich hot chocolate fills the room, steaming mugs topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, and a sprinkle of cocoa waiting on a small “refreshment” table. Next to them sits a bowl of popcorn, the perfect mix of cozy and classic movie-night comfort. As the movie begins, the sound of the train whistle echoes through the room, and everyone settles in, sipping their hot chocolate while the snowy scenes light up the screen. Wrapped in blankets, guests feel like they’re traveling right along with the children to the North Pole, carried away by the music, the warmth, and the magic of the moment. It’s a night filled with sparkle, comfort, and childlike wonder, a little holiday escape on the Polar Express. Tickets will be on sale soon. Wear pyjamas for an extra cosy feel. Under 10’s must be accompanied by an adult.
