Pharmacies, MIUs, NHS 111 and GP practices are the right sources of treatment and information if you're under the weather this Easter. You should only attend your hospital’s A&E department when you have a serious or life-threatening condition. ow.ly/Swvt30obaEv

Do you have a rheumatic condition such as #arthritis or gout? If so, the Rheumatology Connect App, developed by #Rheumatology consultants @TorbaySDevonNHS could really help. Search your app store for 'Rheumatology Connect' to download or visit rheumatologyconnect.info

Did you know there's £30k available for LAs looking to run digital #socialcare projects: bit.ly/2E9IBjU. @TCCarersProject fits perfectly with this funding and we can help you run this in your community. Get in touch to see how we can work together bit.ly/TCCarersProject

Did you know that @TorbaySDevonNHS have an online library of #healthinformation videos? We think they make a great alternative to leaflets, and provide information in a really simple way. Why not take a look at the videos on giving up smoking?videos.torbayandsouthdevon.n…

We’ve achieved great things with our community #carers project, so it’s great to see more funding like this available. This project could be easily replicated across the country, so if you’d like to bid for a portion of this fund for your own carers project, we can help!
