As we head into the colder months, make sure you plan ahead.

Your community pharmacy can help with many common illnesses, your GP can support ongoing health concerns, and NHS 111 can guide you if you're unsure where to turn.

Lewes Urgent Treatment Centre will be closing at 4pm today (Thursday 5 November) due to the road closures in place for Lewes Bonfire.

We will open the unit as normal at 8am on Friday 6 November.

If you need support during this time, please contact NHS 111, who will be able to provide you with guidance and signposting to other appropriate services.

65 or over? Don't let flu slow you down this winter.

If you're aged 65 or over, you can get a free NHS flu vaccination at your GP practice or local pharmacy.

The flu vaccine helps reduce your risk of serious illness and can make symptoms milder if you do catch flu.

If you're a resident in a care home for older adults, speak to a member of staff about getting vaccinated.

Today is Learning Disability Nurses Day.

Learning disability nurses do so much more than provide healthcare. They champion dignity, inclusion and equality, helping people with learning disabilities live healthy, fulfilling and independent lives.

We're proud of our Learning Disability Health Facilitation Team, made up of dedicated nurses and clinicians with lived experience, who work every day to ensure people are heard, respected and supported to access the care they deserve.

Thank you to all learning disability nurses for the incredible difference you make!

Congratulations to our Comfort Tracker team on winning the Technology and Data in Nursing Award at the Nursing Times Awards!

The team was recognised for transforming end-of-life care through innovation. Developed using feedback from patients and carers, the Comfort Tracker is used by our Adult Community Nursing teams and Remote Monitoring teams and helps support proactive interventions, better coordinated care and more timely support when it matters most.

By combining technology with compassionate, patient-centred care, the Comfort Tracker team, Adult Community Nursing and the Remote Monitoring teams are demonstrating the benefits of collaborative working to enhance patient experiences.

This partnership helps ensure patients and their families receive personalised, timely care during some of life's most challenging moments.

Protect yourself and your loved ones this winter by getting your flu vaccination.

Sharon, Operational Team Lead and Peer Vaccinator, has already been helping our staff do just that:

"Vaccinating 70 colleagues on my first day as a Peer Vaccinator was a fantastic start. It reflects the enthusiasm of SCFT staff who recognise the importance of protecting themselves, their families and our vulnerable patients during the winter months."

Find out if you're eligible for the flu vaccine via the link in the comments.

Thank you to all our pharmacy technicians for the work you do.
