Winter health advice for older people
As the weather gets colder and the nights longer, GPs in Havering have published a handy new guide with their top tips for older people to stay healthy over the winter.
The main messages to older residents from GPs are to keep warm, eat well and get a free flu jab from your local practice or pharmacy.
Details of different NHS services if you do fall ill are included along with advice to prevent falls and what to do if you do fall.
The Care Act aims to join up the social care services offered by local authorities and healthcare services run by the NHS and provide preventative services to keep people healthy.
