A Spacer + Your Puffer = A Great Team!

This simple combo can help more medicine reach your lungs — and if it’s not working well for you, your GP can likely recommend a different type of puffer that suits you better. 😊

🟡 R U OK? Day – A Conversation Could Change a Life 🟡

Today is a powerful reminder to check in with the people around us.
Sometimes asking “Are you OK?” and really listening can make all the difference.

You don’t need to be an expert — just being there matters.

💛 If you’re not feeling OK, or if someone you know is struggling, speaking with your GP is a great first step.
We're here to help you through.

💬 Don’t wait. Let’s start the conversation.

Winter Woes: Ear Infections on the Rise

Cold weather and blocked sinuses can lead to painful ears, especially in little ones.
If symptoms like ear pain, fever, or trouble hearing pop up, a quick trip to the doctor can help us find the best way to care for them.

Here’s a little information about what ear infections are and how we treat them—so you can understand why different treatments may be recommended.

Caring for You This Cold & Flu Season

We know you're feeling unwell, and it's tough.

But when it comes to colds and flu, antibiotics probably won't help. Misusing them can lead to antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat.

We think this is a really important topic to chat about!

Rest, hydrate, and consult your healthcare provider for the best care. Sometimes you can get a secondary bacterial infection so please make sure you get checked if you're worried.

Let's protect your health and the effectiveness of antibiotics together. 💙
