Battling dry winter eyes?

The shift from freezing outdoor temperatures to warm, dry central heating can play havoc with your vision and comfort. This rapid change often leads to dry, itchy, or gritty eyes.

Top tip: Use a humidifier indoors and blink consciously while using screens to help keep your eyes moist.

If you are experiencing persistent eye discomfort or vision changes, our NHS Ophthalmology services are available in your community. Learn more: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0qM9Dw0

Tummy troubles after all the treats?

The festive feasting is over, but are you still feeling the effects? While occasional discomfort is normal, persistent symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, or abdominal pain shouldn't be dismissed.

Quick Tip: Hydration is key! Drinking enough water can help flush your system and aid digestion.

If your gut health issues continue beyond the first few weeks of January, remember that CHEC offers comprehensive NHS Gastroenterology services. Learn more here: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0qMbYs0

A GP referral can get you seen sooner. Don't put off your comfort!

Cold air, central heating, and festive stress can all take a toll on your skin. Our Dermatology team has three quick tips to keep your skin happy and healthy this Christmas:

· Hydrate: Drink plenty of water (not just hot chocolate!).

· Moisturise: Apply a thick moisturiser after showering to lock in moisture.

· Watch Irritation: Pay attention to flare-ups of eczema or psoriasis, which can worsen in winter.

If you have persistent or worsening skin conditions, CHEC offers community-based Dermatology services via the NHS. Learn more: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0qw6Px0

With all the wonderful Christmas lights and late-night films, remember to give your eyes a rest!

Quick eye care tip: When looking at screens or bright decorations, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away.

If you're noticing vision changes or discomfort, remember CHEC offers NHS Ophthalmology services in your community.
