**Site now open**

Due to a water main leak in the village of Linton we are having to temporarily close our Linton Surgery as they are without water or electricity.

Our Reception Teams are working to contact all affected patients.
We apologise for the disruption and will keep you updated as to when we are able to reopen the site.

With the extreme temperatures we are currently experiencing please take care and follow Governmental advice including wearing sun screen, a hat and light clothes, having cold food and drinks and avoiding alcohol. Keep your living space cool by closing windows and curtains in the day and opening them at night when the temperature drops.

Heat exhaustion does not usually need medical help if you can cool down within 30 minutes. If it turns into heatstroke, it needs to be treated as an emergency.
Symptoms of both conditions and how to treat for them can be found at www.nhs.uk/conditions/heat-exhaustion-heatstroke
Please check in on any family, friends or neighbours who may be susceptible to these higher temperatures.
