Together We Can includes seasonal health advice to help you keep well whatever the weather. Knowing where to get the right care can save you time and help our NHS.
During winter and times of significant pressure on local services, the public are still encouraged to come forward and not to delay if they need help or are concerned about their health, but we want to ensure they’re using the right services and they know when to go to a pharmacy, use NHS 111 or their GP practice. This campaign also provides information about seasonal vaccinations for those who are eligible.
The campaign has an easy to navigate website. Here you will find help, advice and tips for keeping well, as well as other useful information on how to stay healthy. You can find out more by visiting www.togetherwe-can.com.
Pharmacy First
Go to your local pharmacy for medical advice and
treatments for things like colds, tummy troubles, rashes
and pains. Your pharmacist can now provide treatment, or
some prescription medicine if needed, for seven conditions,
without you seeing a GP. For more information visit
togetherwe-can.com/pharmacies.
Vaccinations
It’s important to get your flu, RSV and COVID-19 vaccines
if you’re at higher risk of getting seriously ill from these
illnesses. Find out more at nhs.uk/seasonalvaccinations.

the NHS app or your GP practice website. Visit 111.nhs.uk
