Winter Preparedness Survey

How do you prepare for winter? Have your say

As the chill of winter approaches, the NHS in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West want to hear from you on how you prepare for colder months, and if any of the adverts and advice we share around this time helps prompt you into action. This short survey is invaluable in helping us support our communities 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 spreading such as flu as we all spend more time indoors.

Vaccination against viruses like the flu are a crucial tool in protecting yourself and others 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

• Whether you recall our winter health and wellbeing campaigns and any suggestions

How to participate

Anyone living or working in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire or Berkshire West can take part and the survey is quick and easy to complete.

Your responses are confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of improving our communication and understanding community needs.
