Your November News
Winter is on its way bringing shorter days and colder weather - it's time to get the woolly jumpers and wellies out !
It's also the time when hospitals and GPs are preparing for the additional challenge of 'Winter pressures' with seasonal illnesses such as flu and norovirus adding to on-going Covid-19 infections. The NHS are encouraging everyone who is entitled to flu and Covid-19 vaccinations to book in and get vaccinated.
Many people are also, of course, concerned about the higher heating bills that colder weather brings and the choice that this presents for some families and individuals between heating and eating. We have included information about where to find local help and advice on these issues, including the council's 'warm spaces' directory.

- Looking ahead to World Diabetes Day on 14 November
- Healthwatch out and about during October & November
- National self-care week 14 -20 November
