Turning on NHS App notifications is a simple way to help the NHS save money while staying informed about your healthcare. 💙

Notifications can remind you about appointments, test results, prescriptions and important updates, helping reduce missed appointments and unnecessary letters or texts.

Using the NHS App makes it easier to manage your health in one place, saves time for NHS services and helps resources be used where they are needed most. Making this small change can have a big impact for you and the NHS. 📱

Regular exercise plays a vital role in maintaining both physical and mental health, and it does not have to mean spending hours in the gym. Being active can help reduce the risk of long-term conditions, improve mood and boost energy levels, while also supporting independence as we age.

Examples of regular exercise include:
🚴‍♂️ Brisk walking or cycling to improve heart health
💪 Strength exercises like carrying shopping or resistance training to build muscle
🧘‍♀️Balance and flexibility activities such as yoga or stretching to reduce falls and stiffness
💙 Low-impact activities like swimming or chair-based exercises, especially later in life
Staying active in ways you enjoy makes it easier to keep exercise as part of everyday life.

Little Bug Busters: Helping Kids Stay Healthy Without Antibiotics

Children often pick up common illnesses like coughs, sore throats, and earaches – especially now they are back at school or nursery. Most of these are caused by viruses, not bacteria, which means antibiotics won’t help and aren’t needed. With rest, fluids, and care at home, most children will recover on their own.

Why does this matter?

Using antibiotics when they’re not needed can lead to antibiotic resistance, making them less effective for serious infections in the future.

Download the Healthier Together app via App / Google Play stores for expert guidance and peace of mind or follow the link here

https://www.sunderlandhealthandwellnesshub.nhs.uk/nhs-apps/

The Healthier Together app provides trusted advice on caring for your child at home and knowing when to seek help from a GP, NHS 111 or urgent care.

Together, we can keep antibiotics working when they’re really needed.
