Flu season is here – simple habits can help stop germs spreading. 🧼

Washing your hands is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and others from illnesses such as viruses. Use soap and water and wash for around 20 seconds, cleaning your palms, the backs of your hands, between your fingers, your fingertips and your thumbs.

Wash your hands after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose, after using the toilet, and before eating or preparing food. If soap and water aren't available, an alcohol-based hand sanitiser is a good alternative.

Catch coughs and sneezes in a tissue, bin it, then wash your hands. 🤧

Need a letter or some information from your GP surgery? You may be able to request it through the NHS App. 📱

From the home screen, go to Appointments, select 'Request a letter or information', answer the questions and send your request. Depending on your GP surgery, this could include things like a fit note or test results.

NHS App help videos show you how to do this step by step, and you can turn on British Sign Language (BSL) and read video transcripts. 🤟

Do you know how many calories your body needs each day? 🍎

Calorie needs are different for everyone. Your age, s*x, height, weight and activity levels can all affect how much energy your body needs each day.

The Patient.info Calorie Calculator can give you a personalised estimate of your daily calorie needs based on these factors. It can help you understand approximately how many calories you may need to maintain, lose or gain weight. 🥗

Remember, a calorie calculator provides an estimate rather than an exact target. Your metabolism, body composition, health and individual circumstances can all affect your energy needs. If you have a health condition or need personalised dietary advice, speak to a healthcare professional or dietitian. 🩺

How healthy is your heart? An NHS Health Check can help you understand your risk of cardiovascular disease. ❤️

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart disease and stroke. Your risk can be influenced by several factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, age and family history. Some factors cannot be changed, but there are important steps you can take to reduce your overall risk.

An NHS Health Check is a free check of your cardiovascular health. It usually includes checking your blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as discussing your family history, physical activity, smoking, alcohol use and other factors that may affect your health. 🩺

High blood pressure and high cholesterol often have no symptoms, so having them checked can help identify potential problems before you know anything is wrong.

NHS Health Checks are generally offered every five years to eligible people aged 40 to 74 who do not already have certain pre-existing conditions. If you're eligible but haven't been invited, you can contact your GP practice. 💙

Breast screening can help find breast cancer before you notice any signs or symptoms. 🎀

NHS breast screening uses X-rays called mammograms to look for breast cancers that may be too small to see or feel. Finding breast cancer earlier can mean treatment is more likely to be successful.

If you're eligible for NHS breast screening, you'll be invited when it's time for your appointment. When you receive your invitation, please take the time to read the information provided and arrange your screening.

Screening is for people without symptoms. If you notice a new lump, changes to the size or shape of your breast, ni**le or skin changes, or anything else that is unusual for you, do not wait for your next screening invitation – contact your GP. 💗
