Stay well in festive season Posted or Updated on 10 Dec 2024

Get To Know Where To Go – stay healthy and well throughout the festive season

With so much going on in the run up to the Christmas and New Year period, it’s easy to forget the smaller things like making sure your medicine cabinet is well stocked, your repeat prescriptions are ordered in good time and you know your local pharmacy opening hours. We’re urging everyone to not leave it too late ahead of the upcoming bank holidays.

The NHS 111 phone service sees a huge increase in people getting in touch about repeat prescriptions at this time of year. Plan ahead and make sure 111 is left free for those who need it most by using the NHS app to order your repeat prescriptions.

Unfortunately, getting poorly over the festive season happens and it can be difficult to know where to go for advice. It’s important to remember that our NHS services are still open to help you. Whether it’s advice for coughs and colds, tummy troubles, dental or eyecare –

your NHS is there for you. The NHS Greater Manchester primary care booklet (EXTERNAL PDF LINK) can help you choose the right primary care service for your needs.

Some people also find this time of year extra challenging when it comes to their mental health and may need help and support. Don’t let things get on top of you this Christmas - help us to help you and your family stay healthy and well whilst enjoying all the festive celebrations!
