If you’re offered antibiotics this season, remember:
🦠 They’re meant for bacterial infections, not most coughs, colds or sore throats.
💡 Taking them unnecessarily makes them less effective and can put your health at risk.
What you can do:
• Ask your GP or pharmacist whether you really need antibiotics
• If prescribed, take exactly as directed and don’t stop early unless told to
• Return any leftovers to your pharmacy for safe disposal.
Together, we can make sure antibiotics stay a safe choice when they’re really needed.

Winter conditions can worsen existing health problems, especially for people aged 65 and over, or those with heart disease, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma or diabetes. Being cold can also cause your blood pressure to rise, potentially increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
But, there are lots of things you can do to stay well this winter.
Flu and respiratory tract infections are often spread through coughs and sneezes. To reduce the risk of spreading infections:
• cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (if you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the bend of your elbow, not into your hand)
• wash your hands regularly
• throw away used tissues immediately

The NHS has launched a new campaign to raise awareness of sexual assault referral centres (SARCs) - specialist NHS services that offer specialist practical, medical and emotional support 24/7 to anyone who has been r***d, sexually assaulted or abused. The campaign aims to highlight these vital NHS support services, as new data published today from an England-wide survey reveals that over half of respondents (56%) who have been sexually assaulted or abused did not seek help from any organisation or service after the incident. Nearly half (44%) of people also say they don’t know or aren’t sure where to get help if they had been sexually assaulted, and 72% of respondents are currently unaware of the support available via the NHS. If you have been r***d, sexually assaulted or abused and don't know where to turn, search ‘sexual assault referral centres’ to find out more or head to www.nhs.uk/SARCs to find your nearest service.
