Keep Warm, Keep Well
As the weather gets colder, we are more likely to catch colds or flu. If your body temperature drops, the risks of heart attack, stroke or breathing difficulties increase. This is especially true for older people or those with chronic health problems.
Keep Warm, Keep Well is a national campaign to combat the effects of winter that can lead to strokes, respiratory diseases and even deaths.
