It’s that time of year when people might start coming down with the flu. So, we’ve put together a few ways you can prepare, help reduce your chances of catching it and get into some good habits now to help you recover as quickly as possible if you do become unwell.

You have the power to help make change happen.

By sharing your ideas, experiences and concerns about NHS and social care, you can help services understand what’s working, what could be improved and what people want from care in the future.

No matter how big or small the issue, we want to hear from you. If it matters to you, it matters to us.

Starting Uni means getting a few important things sorted, including registering with a GP near your term time address.

This means you’ll have access to healthcare when you need it, from prescriptions and check ups to unexpected illnesses.

To get started, search ‘NHS register with a GP’ and find out how to register.

If you notice any unusual or persistent signs or symptoms, don’t ignore them.

It could be nothing serious, but it’s always worth speaking to your GP if something doesn’t feel right. Spotting cancer early can make a real difference, and early diagnosis and treatment can save lives.

If you’re concerned about a change in your health, contact your GP.

It’s 💪 and a good reminder that staying active isn’t just about physical health, it can have a big impact on how we feel too.

Exercise can:
🧠 Improve your mood and support brain health
😌 Reduce stress and ease feelings of anxiety
😴 Help improve sleep
💛 Build confidence and self esteem
🌿 Support your mental wellbeing

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym either. Aim for around 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as brisk walking, cycling or swimming. Even 20–30 minutes at a time can make a difference.

When it comes to fitness, consistency matters more than intensity. Find something you enjoy, keep moving and look after your mind as well as your body.

We’re always encouraging people to share their feedback on the services available, but we’d also love to hear about your experience with us.

If you’ve used our services, we’d be grateful if you could take a few minutes to share your experience too.

A local gentleman recently contacted Healthwatch Enfield when he was at risk of becoming homeless within just five days.

Living with multiple long-term physical and mental health conditions, and without support from family, a carer or Adult Social Care, Lonnie* needed help understanding his options and accessing urgent support.

We provided information on available housing and advocacy services, offered reassurance, and, with his consent, made a referral to help him access the support he needed as quickly as possible.

As the weather starts to cool down and summer winds down, it could be a good time to think about cutting back on alcohol.

Even small changes can make a difference, and your body can start to benefit sooner than you might think. Better sleep, more energy and improvements to your overall health can all be part of the picture.

⚠️ A word of caution: If you experience physical withdrawal symptoms such as shaking, sweating or anxiety until you have your first drink of the day, speak to a medical professional before stopping. Suddenly stopping heavy drinking can be dangerous and you may need medical support to do so safely.

Your voice can help shape the future of health and care services in Enfield.

Our new Future of Patient Voice guide brings together practical information on the different ways you can get involved, share your experiences, provide feedback and raise concerns.

From joining a Patient Participation Group (PPG) or hospital patient forum, to volunteering, completing NHS feedback surveys or making a complaint, the guide explains the different routes available and how you can get involved.

It also includes information about support and advocacy if things go wrong, along with useful contacts for local NHS services, social care and ombudsman services.

By speaking up and sharing your experiences, you can help make sure local services understand what matters to the people who use them.

Your experience matters. Your voice can make a difference.
