Welcome to our September LiveWire. Well, the weather seems to be holding out for us this year with mild temperatures remaining across the UK. However, when the cold weather finally hits, remember to wrap up warm and stock up on cough and cold remedies, as according to the British Thoracic Society, acute coughs cost the economy £875m per year in lost productivity! As ever we would love to hear from you and if there are any topics you would like to see featured in future editions of LiveWire, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards Lesley Stalker |
