Gainsborough: Campaign highlights the importance of seeking medical advice if you are feeling unwell
Free health checks were recently offered in Morrison’s in Gainsborough in order to promote Under The Weather, a national NHS campaign to make older people aware that cold weather doesn’t necessarily have to go hand in hand with illness.
The team of pharmacists and NHS representatives were getting the message across with information packs and first aid kits handed out, but were also giving out simple advice to help the public stay well for the rest of the winter.
