Firstly, try to relax and enjoy yourself. This has been a stressful year for us all.

Enjoy a tipple or two but don’t drink so much that you get dizzy and fall over.

Medical director @DeepakDwarakan1 says: "We all want to relax and have fun at Christmas but we need to remember that COVID-19 won’t be taking the day off.

“We’re here to serve you. That will never change. Allow us to make sure our services are focused on those who need us most."
