Look after yourself this winter
As the dark nights draw in across Wiltshire and winter really starts to bite, it’s worth thinking about how we can all make sure we’re looking after ourselves and staying well over the cold winter months.
The NHS recently launched its annual winter campaign – Help Us Help You– which is here to help make it easier to understand the things you can do.
We all know hospitals and surgeries can be especially busy during the winter months and it can often be tricky to know the best place to go for help, so here’s some handy tips to see you though until spring:
The free flu vaccination is offered to those who are at increased risk from the effects of flu, including people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, those with underlying health conditions and children aged 2-10. If you’ve not had one yet, it’s not too late.
If you’re unsure where to go and think you need urgent medical attention, but it’s not life-threatening, contacting NHS 111 can help you make sure you reach the most suitable NHS service for your needs.
Community pharmacists are qualified healthcare professional who can offer clinical advice and over the counter medicines to safely manage things like coughs, colds and sore throats.
It’s quick and convenient to see a pharmacist– you don’t need to book an appointment and can often be seen in a private consultation room.
If you need to see a GP but find it hard to find the time during routine hours, appointments with a GP, nurse or other healthcare professionals are often available in the evenings and at weekends through many local practices or other local NHS services.

The survey of village opinion that ran in August of this year showed a 2:1 ratio of people in favour of creating a children’s play area on the current amenity area site near the entrance to Old Farm Close.
It was therefore decided at the Parish Council meeting of 2nd September 2019 that an implementation group would be formed to progress the project.
Dan Lydiate was the chair on the previous group and has already investigated a number of funding options which look promising.
Unfortunately Dan is not available to chair the implementation group as he has just started work on his PhD (Good Luck Dan !).
The Parish Council is therefore now looking for volunteers to join the implementation group and complete the project.
The PC has arranged a meeting for Saturday 16th November at 12:00 in the North Aisle area of the church.
Please come along and lend your support to this worthwhile project.
If anyone would be happy to help but can’t make the meeting on the 16th then please mail me at jill.kearsley@kearsleynet.com to let me know of your interest.
Thank you,
Jill Kearsley (Parish Council)
