Winter infections are spreading

Winter infections are spreading, and hospitals are under extreme pressure.

Please avoid A&E for flu-like symptoms.

• Stay hydrated
• Take paracetamol for fever/pain

Contact your GP practice if your symptoms persist or you have a serious illness.

Your local pharmacy can treat lots of common illnesses like sore throats and sinusitis. You don’t need an appointment, or to see a Doctor first.
