Feeling rough with a sore throat or feeling generally? 😫

❌ A&E isn’t for you

Our walk-in and urgent treatment centres can help, or you can get advice fast from #NHS111.

Gritters are out tonight. Very icy conditions. Expect patches of black ice for the morning rush hour. Keep your speed down and allow for extra stopping room when driving. If walking also take extra care.

Children aged 5 to 14 are the most affected by the flu virus currently. It's strongly recommended that if eligible that you get the flu shot. It takes around 2 weeks to be effective. Sadly, the NHS is already seeing a massive rise in cases. www.nhs.uk/nhs-services...
