To the Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Staff Health & Wellbeing Calendar. Every year we are so impressed with the range of activities underway within our organisation. In this calendar we try to give a snapshot of services developed, initiatives undertaken, celebrating the efforts and achievements of our staff. I hope you enjoy browsing through the calendar and recognise a few of the proud faces beaming out. Congratulations to Deirdre O'Brien on winning the Wellness through the Lens photo competition. We loved her photo of Physiotherapist Sile Burns leading a lunchtime stretch & tone class. You can see the winning photo in November. I am delighted to announce this year we will be having a competition on a different theme. For Tee-Travels we want to know how many places around the world our Healthy Ireland T-shirts have been to visit. Send your photographs along with the location to [email protected] Each month we will publish a photograph in the Staff Health & Wellbeing Newsletter and save the best for our calendar next year. Wishing all our staff a happy and healthy year ahead in 2020. Priscilla Lynch

Get The Flu Vaccine It is so important to get your flu vaccination in order to protect yourself and the vulnerable people you interact with this winter. Flu can kill and is easily preventable with a simple vaccine. You can have no symptoms at all and still spread the flu. The vaccine is free for HSE Staff.
