BE HEALTH-WISE THIS WINTER & PLAN AHEAD!
It's important to plan ahead and help ensure that coughs, colds and minor ailments don’t become a big problem for you and your family over the festive season. The key steps being recommended in preparation are:

* make sure you check any repeat prescription(s). If you or someone you care for requires medicines regularly, make sure you have enough medicine to last over the festive holiday period but please don’t over order. Remember to pick it up in plenty of time too

* be prepared for common illnesses with at-home remedies e.g. pain relief and rehydration salts.
Many children and adults pick up common winter ailments such as a colds, flu-like illness or upset tummies. These can often be effectively treated at home with readily available medicine. Parents are reminded to have remedies that are suitable for children

* know when your GP surgery and pharmacy will be open

* stock up on remedies is a good idea to help tackle common conditions. Knowing where to get help if someone does become unwell is also important so it’s good to know your local GP and pharmacy opening times that may vary over the holidays.
