Winter conditions can worsen existing health problems, especially for people aged 65 and over, or those with heart disease, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma or diabetes. Being cold can also cause your blood pressure to rise, potentially increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks. But, there are lots of things you can do to stay well this winter. This leaflet provides advice on how to stay well this winter including: staying strong with winter vaccines: flu, COVID-19, RSV and other vaccines such as pneumococcal and shingles, preventing respiratory infections, keeping warm, financial support, home safety, keeping active, prescriptions, managing winter illness, COVID-19 treatments, mental health support, and looking out for others and Age UK services including the Silver Line Helpline, befriending schemes, clubs and activities providing opportunities to meet new people in the area
