How to keep the whole family healthy and well this August

If young people are feeling the strain of impending exam results day, you can find links to a whole range of resources and support on the NHS GM website.
If you have little ones just starting their school journey, don’t forget to check their vaccinations are up to date before the new school year begins in September.
The August bank holiday can be a busy time for us all. Make sure you find time to get repeat prescription requests in early and to check local pharmacy opening times.
To find the right service for your needs, go to the ‘Get To Know Where To Go’ page on the NHS Greater Manchester website.
