#35 Winter Wellness

In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, we discuss Winter Wellness with Dr. Edel Doorley, HSE GP Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control (AMRIC). Dr. Doorley provides advice on managing common illnesses, emphasising the importance of hand hygiene, vaccinations, and self-care. She highlights the HSE Common Conditions website as a resource for parents and encourages physical activity and social connections for mental health. The discussion also touches on the importance of routine and resources available in local communities for non-emergency health concerns. The "Catch it, Kill it, Bin it" initiative, promoting proper coughing etiquette, is also highlighted by Dr. Doorley as she encourages everyone to maintain simple ways to prevent the spread of infections. Hosted by Fergal Fox.
