How do you prepare for winter? Have your say

As the chill of winter approaches, NHS Mid and South Essex wants to hear from you. We are launching a survey to understand how local people prepare for the colder months and to gather your perceptions of the flu vaccination. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us support our community better during the winter season.

Why your opinion matters

Winter can be a challenging time for many, with colder weather, shorter days, and the increased risk of illnesses such as flu. The flu vaccination is a crucial tool in protecting yourself and others from the flu, which can be particularly severe during the winter months. By getting vaccinated, you reduce the risk of spreading the flu to those who are more vulnerable, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with underlying health conditions.

By sharing your experiences and thoughts, you can help shape our campaign to meet the needs of everyone in our community.

What we want to know

Our survey covers a range of topics, including:

  • How you and your family prepare for winter
  • The steps you take to stay healthy and safe during the colder months
  • Your views on the flu vaccination and whether you plan to get vaccinated this year
  • Any concerns or suggestions you have about our winter health and wellbeing campaigns

How to participate

We encourage everyone in the mid and south Essex area to take part in this survey. The survey is quick and easy to complete, taking just a few minutes of your time. It is available via the tools section below. Your responses are confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of improving our services and understanding community needs.

The survey has now closed, however you can still leave ideas on our virtual ideas board.
