Cold weather warnings are in place for much of England. It's important to make sure older neighbours and relatives are ok during winter. Popping in check they are staying warm and well could make a real difference. More advice here: nhs.uk/staywell #WednesdayWisdom

The NHS would completely collapse without the thousands of fantastic migrant workers that help make our health service so great. Please RT for all of them.

Ambulance services should treat calls from GP surgeries as seriously as they do from any other location. We're raising this issue in discussions with NHS England pulsetoday.co.uk/home/financ…

Pharmacists are a great first port of call for medical advice.
Pharmacists are healthcare professionals who can help with things like coughs and colds: nhs.uk/staywellpharmacy
Rowhedge & Uni of Essex Med Practice (branch of @ColTe_GPs ) collected food for the @colchfbank instead of sending Xmas cards to one another. 33Kg of food donated to the Colchester Foodbank...why not do something similar to help others?

Don't forget to order your medication in advance of Christmas. Ensure you have simple over the counter meds at home over the festive period: paracetamol, ibuprofen, indigestion remedies.

Important, relevant information.
The hot weather is due to continue for at least another week. It's important to be aware that vulnerable people, such as older people and young children, are at increased risk of health issues. See our advice here: ow.ly/WZfu30kOtwv #WednesdayWisdom
Stay cool in this heatwave. Protect yourself by staying hydrated, and making sure you wear suncream. Older people with chronic health conditions are more at risk so look out for friends and family.
