Keeping well this winter campaign

The HSE has just launched the Keeping well this winter campaign across many media channels including TV, digital and social, radio and local press. We have also distributed a Keeping well this winter guide with lots of tips and advice to two million households in Ireland. 

This year we are encouraging people, particularly our older population and those caring for them, to prepare for their winter health needs as best they can and to know that the health service is available when they need it.  

Please find attached an information pack containing details of the new campaign. We would be grateful if you could help share the campaign messages.
