NHS announces plans to prepare for busy winter period

16 September 2024

The NHS is upgrading its 24-hour live data centres to manage demand, strengthening same day emergency care and offering more falls services for older people, as part of actions set out today to prepare for this winter.

Vaccination is also a key part of NHS winter plans for this year, with the first ever campaign for RSV already underway alongside covid and flu jab rollouts for those most at risk of serious illness.
