Eye on your health this winter

Winter is coming

Sean Calvert (Eye on MK, )

"Eye on MK" and "Lifestyle MK" got chatting this week about Winter preparations.  I don't think anyone could have failed to notice the temperatures falling...and certainly the heating has gone on in the "LifestyleMK" household.

Sean ("Eye on MK") has been talking to Age UK and other MK organisations about their support for residents in the Winter months and has been finding out about other cold season preparations.

"LifestyleMK" meanwhile has been helping out one of the local NHS Trusts with their in-house, "Flu Jab Education Campaign".

Every October staff within the NHS are urged to get their flu jab as it will help keep them healthy, and in turn, their patients safe from what is quite a debilitating illness.  Unlike the "common cold", flu can even hospitalize you with shivers, fevers, aches and pains.

As such many of the NHS Trusts work to educate and encourage their staff on the value of getting that vaccination - the "LifestyleMK" team (who satisfy their thirst for theatre, film and media with CLICK Arts) were happy to help out.

The education campaign seeks to "myth bust" those urban beliefs about flu and the flu jab reminding staff that:

- It IS safe at any stage of pregnancy

- It doesn't make you feel THAT bad!!

- Even if you miss the "first round" of jabs, it's never too late

...and if you want to help out in any community initiatives this Winter, Sean is also going to be chatting to the Food Bank and Help the Homeless MK and giving you lots of ideas to contribute.

Tune into "Eye on MK" every Monday at 4pm, and catch past shows HERE
