Your life is to be enjoyed; we hope these pages
will give you some useful information to make a positive impact on the
quality and longevity of your life.
Simple things can make a big difference and don't necessarily mean a
complete change to your normal routines.
Some risks to health cannot be easily avoided, although the risks are
probably so small there would be little point doing so anyway.
Other risks such as cigarette smoking which kills more than 13 people
every hour in the UK (the equivalent of a fully laden jumbo jet crashing
every other day) are totally avoidable.
Also listed is contact information on self-help groups. . If you feel
we have omitted any you have found useful or are involved in please
contact us and we will endeavour to include them.
Remember your local community pharmacy is a good, free, accessible
source of medical help and advice. 'ask your pharmacist'.
