Another year has flown by and I think it's fair to say we've all had our fair share of joy and sadness over the past 12 months.

We also know that the start of a new year can bring about many thoughts, feelings and unexpected challenges so whether you want to celebrate or commiserate we are here for you but if you find yourself in urgent need of medical assistance then do get in touch with your local A&E department. For non-urgent medical queries you can contact the NHS on 111 and for those that may need a sympathetic ear the Samaritans are just a phone call away on 116 123.

Whatever you're doing to bring in the start of the new year, we're thinking of you and wish nothing but the best for each and everyone one of you in 2019.
