Children’s Hospital in Edinburgh’s study of the impact of salt water nasal sprays on fighting colds
Dear parent/carer,
Recently, we published evidence that nasal irrigation with salt water helped reduce the cold in adults. We have also shown the mechanism for how salt water helps with the common cold when applied on the nasal epithelium. Our research showed that cells use the chloride from the salt water to fight viral infections. Hence, we are now testing if salt water nose drops helps children fight the cold.
If you have a child under 7 years of age, you may be able to join the fight.
The Children’s Hospital in Edinburgh are doing a study of salt water nose drops to see if it helps get rid of the cold faster.
Your child does not need to have a cold right now to take part!
You can join right now by calling/texting 07973657457 for an appointment to sign up and to be taught what to do the next time your child has a cold.
Your child does not need to attend.
Families completing the study will receive travel expenses and a £30 voucher to compensate for any inconvenience.

Ipayimpact – Instructions for setting up.
If you do not have an ipay account, now might be a good time to set one up. In the past it was mainly used for school lunches. Now it will be used more and more as an alternative to sending cash to school.
Ipay may now be used for school outings etc. Why not set it up now? Click below for detailed instructions.
Cost of Living Support
Message from Corporate Communications Team
The council has a wide-ranging campaign underway to provide advice for those residents (and businesses) who require support with the rising cost of living.
Called Help With Costs, the campaign has sought to pull together advice and information on a number of key areas. These areas can be broken down into energy (business and residential), benefits/financial support and help with school costs. Work to target key audience groups has already begun and officers from several services have helped develop the content.
A leaflet and business card have been created and are both available within public reception areas (Libraries, Partnership Centres, Civic Centre). We also provided a QR code to scan in Bulletin, which householders are encouraged to keep and check regularly.
However, given the ever-changing landscape, our main focus is to direct customers to the online Information Hub. This will be updated as and when required and will aim to capture the advice and support being provided by the council, partners and national bodies.
