NHS campaign urges people over the age of 65 to seek help at the first signs of a winter illness

‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign aims to help the NHS manage winter pressures by supporting people to stay well. The latest phase of the campaign, which launched this week, urges people over the age of 65 to talk to a pharmacist at the first signs of a winter illness. 

This new television advert, which first aired on Monday, demonstrates that no one should suffer in silence and encourages people to talk to a community pharmacist about how to manage winter bugs before they get worse.

‘Help Us, Help You – Before It Gets Worse’ is the second phase of the NHS winter campaign which launched in October with the NHS 111 focused ‘Help Us, Help You – Know What to Do’ phase.
