Patient safety remains our priority, so we are providing additional GP appointments to help support the extra demand. While our hospitals are busy, they are doing all they can to care for patients to get well again and back home as soon as possible. ere are also things we can all do to help and through these six simple steps, you’ll be helping your local NHS and getting ‘winter strong’: • Get vaccinated – Take up the o er of free u, COVID-19 and RSV vaccinations if you are in an eligible group. • Stay warm – It is important you keep warm when you are inside or outdoors as this can help you from getting colds, u or developing more serious health problems.

MAKE PERSONAL CHANGE EASY by Alan Jones, Registered Hypnotherapist Ok, we are now into the rst month of 2025, most likely, all those promises to change something in your life have already been cast aside for another twelve months. Making changes to behaviours, habits or feelings requires more than willpower because your brain is wired to want to keep doing the things that it recognises as familiar, it would rather keep, even those unwanted emotions and actions, rather than face the unknown. Willpower demands a lot of e ort and you can soon run out of energy. To successfully achieve the changes you want it is necessary to discover what created the problem in the rst place. Hypnotherapy can help you resolve those hidden triggers and teach you the techniques that will ensure you move forward in 2025 to the personal life you really want.
