Please be careful if you are planning to watch the partial solar eclipse this evening.

The NHS have issued the following guidance.

Please be careful and watch safely.

Learn how to protect your eyes whilst watching the partial solar eclipse!

We probably shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t look directly at the sun. Looking directly at the sun without the right protection can cause permanent damage to your eyesight – so you need to take care. Remember, your normal sunglasses may look great, but they won't cut it.

An amber heat-health alert is in place across parts of England from today until 14 August.

During an amber alert, hot weather can put more people’s health at risk – not just those who are usually more vulnerable.

Older people, young children and people with existing health conditions may be particularly at risk.

Take extra care and look out for others who may struggle in the heat.

💊 Medicines Available to Buy Over the Counter

Did you know that GP practices generally do not prescribe medicines that can be bought from a pharmacy or supermarket, even if you qualify for free prescriptions?

Many common conditions can be safely treated with over-the-counter medicines and advice from your local pharmacist.

Please see the attached poster for examples of conditions and treatments available without a prescription.

Your pharmacist is a highly trained healthcare professional and can offer advice on the best treatment for your symptoms.

Thank you for helping us keep GP appointments and NHS resources available for those who need them most.
