Flu is much more than a bad cold; it's a virus that can make even healthy people feel very unwell. Don't risk it; get your flu vaccine - it's the safest, most effective way to protect yourself and your family this winter. #TrustTheFacts #FluFacts #VaccinesWork

Apart from the delight of watching Newcastle United beat Wolves ⚽️ the lasting impression of our Zambian guests Dr Banda and Fred Ntongwe as they left yesterday was the sheer commitment Scotland has to global health. They thank everyone for such warm hospitality. @NHSBorders – at Coldstream, Scotland
