Winter is a busy time for the NHS. More people need hospital care, flu and Covid-19 cases go up, and cold weather makes many health conditions worse.

NHS Surrey Heartlands wants to make sure you are ready for winter. Being “winter ready” means:

Getting flu and Covid-19 vaccines, and the new RSV vaccine for those aged 75 to 79, and pregnant people.
Knowing how to get urgent health advice and treatment, and which service to use and when (including pharmacies, GP teams, NHS 111, Minor Injury Units, Walk-in Centres, Urgent Treatment Centres, and keeping A&E and 999 for emergencies).
Planning ahead for repeat prescriptions and keeping a well-stocked medicine cabinet for common illnesses which can be treated through self-care.
Using the NHS App for health advice, ordering repeat prescriptions, viewing health records, and booking appointments.
Preparing for cold weather by keeping homes heated to recommended levels to stay warm and healthy.
