As NHS hospitals experience a “tidal wave” of flu cases, it is amazing news that vaccine bookings surged by 124% yesterday with 21,144 booked in just one day. I’m eligible and have had my vaccines - and it’s not too late to book if you haven’t already. ⬇️ nhs.uk/wintervaccinations

From patient Coleen - "At my worst, I was drinking two litres of vodka a day and very angry at everything around me." Watch how Paula and the FUSE team help people turn their lives around after meeting them in the Emergency Department of Derriford Hospital ⬇️ #Health
