PATIENTS in the South-West are being urged to ease pressure on the NHS by self-caring this winter as part of a campaign by the British Medical Association.
A new poster aimed at helping patients get the help they need this winter has been launched to encourage patients to self-care, for example, when suffering from colds or sore throat, rather than visiting their local GP or A&E.
