We will be looking at:
- What are the best ways to stay healthy this Winter?
- Do we really need a another covid booster and who is eligible?
- Do I need to take vitamins if I eat a balanced diet?

Last winter, flu was estimated to have contributed to nearly 4,000 deaths in England. Encouragingly, the flu vaccination programme also helped prevent around 100,000 hospital admissions and 7,000 deaths, so what protection is available to you?
Join us for a relaxed and informative question-and-answer session with a practising London GP, who will explain the latest advice, answer your questions and help you feel more confident about looking after your health this winter.
