Help Us Help You this winter
We have enhanced and improved its ‘Help Us Help You’ website page designed to give Cheshire and Merseyside residents advice and tips to support their general wellbeing during the colder months.
The website page, a one-stop shop for tips and advice about keeping warm, looking after your physical and mental health and when to go to A&E or ring 999, is aiming to keep residents away from hospitals and inpatient units, which are traditionally high in demand during winter.
It’s the third year of the ‘Help us, Help You’ campaign which last year helped save over 44,000 bed days while there were nearly 150,000 attendances in our walk-in centres/urgent treatment centres. Our winter messages also generated over 1.8 million social media impressions.
Among the additions to the webpage there are:
- A series of adverts going out on Greatest Hits Radio giving hints and tips to stay well this winter
- A series of new animations covering urgent mental health support, top tips to improve your mental wellbeing, information about Walk-in Centres/Urgent Treatment Centres, the importance of self care and how to beat loneliness.
