Please Only Order What You Need

Ordering medicines you don’t need can lead to waste and shortages. By only requesting what you need, you help your GP practice keep everyone safe and ensure medicines are available for all.

✔ Check your cupboards before ordering
✔ Order in good time, but not too early
✔ Speak to your practice if your medication needs have changed

Together, we can reduce waste and make sure medicines are there for those who need them most.

For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:
🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest
There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.
