❄️ Stay safe outdoors in winter ❄️

🔹 Wrap up well - It's the season for cosy layers! Wear gloves and a hat as well as layers to protect yourself from the cold.

🔹 Take it slow and steady – Be aware that some pavements and roads may be icy.

🔹 Watch your step - Wear shoes with good grip to navigate slippery paths and avoid falls.

🔹 Stay off ice on frozen waterways – Its thickness can be deceptive, and the water can be extremely cold and deep. Make sure children are aware of the potential dangers.

In cold weather, individuals with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD, bronchiectasis, or asthma may face additional challenges. That’s why we created this informative leaflet to support their well-being during the winter months!

We understand that recent infant formula recalls may be causing worry for parents and carers. Our information page explains which products are affected and what you should do.

Batches from brands including Aptamil, Cow & Gate and SMA have been recalled. If you have formula at home, check the batch code as affected products may still be in your cupboard.

If you have an affected batch:

- Stop using it
- Return it to the store for a replacement
- You can switch to another batch or brand
- If formula was prescribed, speak to a pharmacist or doctor first
