A NORTH Yorkshire MP is urging people to look after themselves over the winter and visit pharmacies if they are suffering with colds, coughs and minor ailments.
Robert Goodwill, MP for Scarborough and Whitby, visited the town’s Squire Pharmacy to learn more about how North Yorkshire Community Pharmacies are supporting the NHS England and Public Health England national campaign to help people prepare for winter weather.
The message is to “Stay Well This Winter” and to encourage people most at risk from cold weather, including those with long-term health conditions and the over 65s, to prepare for the lower temperatures.
All Pharmacists have trained for five years and can offer expert advice on lots of minor ailments. Most pharmacies in North Yorkshire offer confidential consultation rooms to help diagnose common problems.
