Winter is traditionally a busy time for the NHS and we’re working hard with our partners to help people stay well this season and to manage the extra pressure on services that cold weather brings.
Local hospitals, GP surgeries, pharmacies, community health services, social care services and charities are all joining forces to help people avoid illness and to treat those who do need medical help quickly and effectively.
