Planning for Christmas? Don’t forget your pharmacy! 🎄

Pharmacy opening hours can change over the Christmas and New Year period, so now’s a great time to check when your local pharmacy will be open.

Knowing your pharmacy’s festive hours means you can pick up any medicines you need and make the most of Pharmacy First - where your local pharmacist can help with a range of common conditions without needing a GP appointment.

👉 Check Christmas and New Year pharmacy opening hours via the link in comments or by contacting your usual pharmacy.

Stay prepared and stay well this Christmas! ✨💙

Don’t get caught short over Christmas! 🎄

Residents in Birmingham, the Black Country and Solihull are being reminded to order repeat prescriptions early ahead of Christmas and New Year.

NHS 111 always sees a big rise in people requesting repeat meds over the bank holidays, which puts extra pressure on already busy services.

If you take regular medication, please check your supplies now and order any repeats by 10 December if they’re due. 📢

This helps make sure you stay well over the festive period and gives plenty of time for your prescription to be processed and dispensed.

Most repeat prescriptions can be ordered online via your GP practice website or the NHS App. 💻
No internet? Just contact your GP practice directly. 📞

Let’s all stay healthy this Christmas! 🎅

We were delighted to welcome Cllr Mariam Khan, Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care and Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board at Birmingham City Council, and Gurdip Thandi, Reporter at Live, to see the incredible work of Communities Engage and Thrive (CET) on Wednesday.

CET's 'Manage Your Diabetes' programme, funded by the Fairer Futures Fund, is a six-week course offering dietary advice, meal planning, exercise classes and lifestyle coaching in West Birmingham.

The results speak for themselves: 52% of attendees have reported reduced blood sugar levels since completing the course. Participants also report better diets, increased physical activity, improved gut health, more energy, better mood, reduced stress - and some have even reduced their medication. 🙌

During the visit, Cllr Khan observed a cooking session showing how simple, effective food swaps can help manage blood sugar levels, and spent time chatting to CET staff and local residents about how the programme is helping them live healthier, happier lives.

This initiative forms part of a wider £1.39m investment in West Birmingham communities, overseen by Flourish Community Health Collaborative CIC – a partnership of third-sector organisations working with the NHS to reduce health inequalities in areas like infant mortality, maternal health, diabetes and mental health.
