Stay Safe this Winter Read the following advice to make sure you’re as fit and healthy as possible this winter: If you have a long-term health condition or respiratory problem remember to get your flu injection. If you are over 60, or have a long-term health condition such as diabetes and don’t receive the flu vaccine, ask your nurse or GP for it and protect yourself. Practice good hand hygiene. We’ve all seen the ads – CATCH IT, BIN IT, KILL IT – and this advice is highly effective. It’s always a good idea to carry hand gel or sanitiser when you are out and about. If you do become ill, keep your fluid levels up, and make an appointment to see your GP. Wear a number of thin layers of clothes to keep warm, drink plenty of warm fluids and eat regularly. Try and keep as active as possible and always let someone know if you don’t feel well. Always let someone know if you are concerned about your health or if you have an underlying health problem which could make the effects of flu worse for you, contact a friend or carer, a nurse or your GP. Remember that flu can be serious for some people so it is unwise to take any chances. Keep your central heating on low to keep a constant temperature and prevent your boiler and pipes freezing. Ensure you have sufficient food supplies in case the weather becomes bad and you are unable to get out to the shops.
