🤧🦠 Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

👉 Check what to expect and when to seek help:

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than “just a cold”, don’t hesitate to seek advice.

📢 Flu cases continue to rise, and the NHS is urging people to take action to protect themselves and others this winter.

If you are eligible for a free NHS flu jab and have not yet had it, it is still worth booking as soon as possible. The flu vaccine helps reduce the risk of serious illness and protects those around you, including vulnerable family members, over the festive period and into the new year.

Contact your GP practice to check your eligibility and availability.

Stay well this winter and take steps to protect your health. 🎄❄️
