We are continuing to experience high demand and winter pressures.

Dr Trussell, Senior Clinical Fellow in Acute Medicine at Bedford Hospital, said: “The cold weather can be especially tough for older people and those with long-term health conditions. Please remember to:

• Keep your home warm and wear several thin layers.
• Have at least two hot meals a day and enjoy regular warm drinks.
• Order repeat prescriptions in good time and take medicines as prescribed.
• Make sure you’re up to date with flu and COVID vaccinations.
• Check in on elderly neighbours, friends and relatives.

“For urgent medical advice, use NHS 111 online or by phone. Only call 999 or attend the Emergency Department in a life-threatening emergency.

“Small steps can help keep everyone safe this winter.”
