🍷⏸️ Thinking about drinking less? Taking regular breaks from alcohol and even stopping for a period can lead to real benefits.

Even a few drink-free days each week can make a difference — better sleep, more energy, improved mood and long-term health gains. Make a plan, choose your days, and notice how your body thanks you. 💪

💊 Think Pharmacy First This Festive Period 💊

People across Norfolk and Waveney are encouraged to order repeat prescriptions now and consider Pharmacy First for health advice over the festive period and bank holidays.

Community pharmacists can help with common conditions such as coughs, colds, sore throats, earache, insect bites, UTIs, shingles and more –often without needing a GP appointment.

If a pharmacist cannot help, they can refer you to another service. If you’re unsure where to go, NHS 111 can help.

🕒 Many pharmacies remain open over bank holidays, though opening hours may vary.

👉 Check local pharmacy bank holiday opening hours and find more helpful information:

🤧🦠 Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

👉 Check what to expect and when to seek help:
https://patient.info/features/infections/difference-between-cold-and-flu
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/common-cold/

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than “just a cold”, don’t hesitate to seek advice.
