🍷⏸️ 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. 💪

Changes in diet over Christmas, including rich food and less movement, can play havoc with the digestive system, leading to issues such as heartburn, constipation and reflux.

These tips can help to keep your gut healthy over the period of indulgence:

Limit your alcohol intake
Eat a varied diet – try to include vegetables and grains to help gut movement
Take some time to relax – stress and anxiety can increase the speed of digestion, causing diarrhoea and bloating
Make time to move! Even a gentle walk after dinner can make a huge difference
Consider a probiotic

However you celebrate, have a gut-friendly season ahead! https://www.kingedwardvii.co.uk/health-hub/how-to-have-a-gut-friendly-christmas

💊⌛️ Run out of your regular prescription and can’t get to your GP? Don’t worry — help is at hand! 🙌

You can request an emergency supply of your usual medication through the NHS 111 online service. It’s quick, secure and available when you need it most. 🌐💙

👉 https://111.nhs.uk/emergency-prescription

This service is ideal if you’ve completely run out of a regular medicine and can’t wait for a routine prescription. Always double-check with your pharmacist if you’re unsure. 🩺✨

Over the festive season, our opening hours will change, and we’ll be closed on bank holidays. You can find out more about our opening times here: https://www.farleymedical.co.uk

Prescription ordering can be busier than usual in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Please ensure you order your medication with extra notice during this time, and you have enough to cover the festive period.

During the festive season, general practice hours may vary. If your general practice isn’t open, you can find help and advice here:https://111.nhs.uk

If you need help in an emergency, you should attend A&E, or in a life-threatening emergency, call 999

🤧🦠 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.

With the cost of living soaring, more and more people are struggling to feed themselves and their families.

There’s nothing worse than hunger when you’re cold, and if you’re struggling to feed yourself or your children, a food bank can supply an emergency parcel with enough food for at least three days.

To receive support from a food bank, you’ll need a referral for a food voucher. Contact your local Citizens Advice:https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/debt-and-money/food-bank/using-a-food-bank/

Remember, if you are in need, your local foodbank is there to help:

💊✨ Did you know your local pharmacy can do far more than just hand out prescriptions? Under the Pharmacy First scheme, pharmacists can now help with a range of common conditions — often without needing a GP appointment! 🙌

💬 They can offer advice, treatments and even prescribe for minor illnesses. So next time you’re under the weather, head to your local pharmacy first.
