The Christmas school term is an exciting time but also a place for winter bugs and illnesses which can leave little ones feeling under the weather.
Most of the time, childhood illnesses can be dealt with in the comfort of your own home.
There's a page on the NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly website packed with advice and information on how to help if your child is unwell, from coughs and colds to injury and even advice on when you should keep them home from school...
Head over and have a read...

Many people struggle to stay active simply because they haven’t found an activity they truly enjoy.

The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to follow what others like; physical activity comes in many forms!💪

If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly.
Flu will often get better on its own, but it can make some people seriously ill. It's important to get the flu vaccine if you're eligible.

To manage flu symptoms at home, NHS recommends the following self-care steps:
Rest: Ensure you get plenty of rest to help your body fight the infection.
Hydration: Drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
Pain Relief: Use paracetamol or ibuprofen to control fever and aches.
Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on your symptoms and seek medical help if they worsen or persist.

For more detailed information and guidance, NHS provides a self-help guide that includes symptoms, when to use self-care, and what to do if your condition worsens.

🫁 COPD in women

The symptoms of respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can intensify during menopause.

Breathlessness isn’t just ‘getting older’ - it could be a sign to act. Quitting smoking and pulmonary rehab could make a real difference.

A date for your diary if you are living with chronic pain - Bude Pain Cafe next get together, Thursday 11th December at the Neetside Community Centre, full details below ⬇️

Next Pain Café – Thursday 11th December, 10am–12pm at Neetside Community Centre, Bude

Join us for the next Pain Café, a relaxed monthly session where we explore different topics related to living with pain. Here is some feedback from last month’s session:

“The pain clinic is very beneficial to me. As well as getting me out of the house and socializing in the group, it has helped me over the months to deal with my pain better, and I have learned different things about my health and everyday living. Every month, these sessions have become a big lifeline for me, and I really enjoy them. They have massively helped me and my conditions.”

Why not pop along and see if you could benefit?

Free to attend – no need to book! Bude Pain Café is held at Neetside Community Centre every second Thursday of the month, 10am–12pm.
