This winter NHS England and NHS Improvement and Public Health England is once again running the overarching NHS Winter Pressures campaign – ‘Help Us, Help You’ - to help the public understand how they can stay well this winter and access appropriate services.

The winter months can be challenging for the NHS, especially for urgent care services. The campaigns helps raise awareness about contacting NHS 111, seeking advice at the first signs of a winter illness, accessing evening and weekend GP appointments and the advantages of consulting with community pharmacists for minor ailments.

Community Pharmacy also supports the campaign by sharing the flu vaccination campaign messages. At Swettenham Chemists we are helping to raise awareness of the importance of having a flu jab to help our customers stay well this winter. This involves advising customers of the target groups who are eligible for FREE flu vaccinations at our pharmacies and are as follows:

• People who are 65 or over
• People with long term health conditions
• Pregnant women

Don't delay! Help us Help You by having your flu vaccination to help you Stay Well This Winter.

Call in today for your flu vaccination. Walks-Ins are avalble as appointments are not always necessary. Ask Your Pharmacist today.
