❄️ Stay warm, stay well this winter ❄️

Being cold for long periods can make you unwell — especially if you’re more vulnerable due to age, a long-term condition, or caring for young children.

At Park Lane Practice and Phoenix Surgery, we want to help everyone stay safe and well during the colder months. Keeping warm can reduce the risk of illness and help avoid unplanned hospital visits.

Please check in on neighbours and loved ones too — a small act of kindness can go a long way this winter. 💙
