Going for a quick dip when the weather is warm is a great way to cool down, but only if it’s done safely. The water might look inviting, but it can still be very cold. Jumping straight in can cause an uncontrollable gasp, rapid breathing and a spike in heart rate - putting you in danger within seconds.
✔️ Enter the water slowly
✔️ Give your body time to adjust
✔️ Stay safe while staying cool
✔️ Check tide times and be aware of currents

"I couldn't do my job without our reception team."

Meet Matt, a GP working in Cardiff. GPs like Matt rely on GP receptionists to support the day-to-day running of their practice.

GP receptionists are trained to ask the right questions so patients can be directed to the most appropriate service, whether that's a GP, nurse, physiotherapist, pharmacist or another healthcare professional.

GP receptionists do much more than answer phones, they have extensive administrative tasks to complete, like processing repeat prescriptions, tracking hospital letters, and organising clinics.

Across Cardiff and the Vale, receptionists are increasingly experiencing anger and frustration while trying to help patients access care.

Behind every phone call is a person doing their best to help.
