Healthcare over Christmas

If you need healthcare over Christmas here are a number of useful tips for you:-

1) Remember to use the 111 number. It is a 24 hour service. Or use 999 in a case of genuine emergency.

2) Make sure you have plenty of painkillers in.

3) Have a good supply of throat sweets, etc in.

4) Have Lemsips or similar in your medicine cabinet. Plus some honey.

5) Make sure you have an adequate supply of plasters, bandages, etc.

6) Have you got any support bandages in stock? If not, get some as they will be very useful if someone pulls a muscle, develops a rheumatism flare-up, etc. 

7) Make sure you have a stock of liquid antiseptics, cream antiseptics, etc. Including something you can gargle with.

8) If you have pets make sure you have the emergency vet number available. Also, make sure that you have sufficient pet medications, etc, in stock.  

9) Take extra care. For example, please try to avoid doing any DIY if you can. 

10) Make sure you have all prescription medicines that you will require.
