Help Us to Help You
Every winter, the NHS produces lots of information materials for the public, and health and care professionals, on the best ways to avoid getting ill and what to do if you do get ill.
The aim of this is to reduce the number of people using A&E and other forms of urgent care unnecessarily at the busiest time of year so we can focus on the people who really need help.
