🚨 Heart Attack Awareness: Know the Signs, Act Fast 🚨

A heart attack is a medical emergency. Recognising the symptoms quickly and calling for help can save a life.

❤️ Common signs of a heart attack include:
• Chest pain, pressure, tightness, or discomfort
• Pain spreading to the arm, neck, jaw, back, or stomach
• Shortness of breath
• Feeling sick, dizzy, or lightheaded
• Sweating more than usual

⚠️ Symptoms can vary from person to person and may be different in women, older adults, and people with diabetes.

📞 If you think you or someone else is having a heart attack, call 999 immediately. Do not wait to see if symptoms improve.

💙 Knowing the signs and acting quickly can make all the difference.

⚠️ Cold water can kill — even on warm days ⚠️

Cold water shock can happen suddenly, causing panic and loss of breathing control. Even strong swimmers can get into difficulty very quickly.

💧 Stay safe near water:
❌ Never jump straight into open water
❌ Avoid swimming alone
❌ Do not mix alcohol with water activities
👀 Always supervise children closely

⚠️ Follow safety signs and local advice
Know the risks:
• Water is colder than it looks
• Hidden currents or deep water may be present
• Edges can be uneven or slipper

🛟 FLOAT TO LIVE 🛟
• Stay calm and control your breathing
• Lean back, tilt your head back and float on your back
• Move your hands and legs to stay afloat
• Your legs may sink — that’s OK
• Keep your airway clear
• When calm, call for help

🚨 In an emergency:
📞 Call 999 or 112
❌ Do not enter the water yourself
🛟 Use a lifebuoy or rope if available

☀️ Keeping Cool in Hot Weather – NHS Tips

Hot weather can be enjoyable, but it can also be risky — especially for older adults, young children, and people with long‑term conditions. Here are simple ways to stay safe:

🌡️ Hints & Tips to Keep Cool
Drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty
Use SPF 30+ and reapply throughout the day
Stay in the shade between 11am–3pm
Wear loose, light‑coloured clothing and a hat
Keep your home cool by closing blinds or curtains
Take cool showers or use a damp cloth on your skin
Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day

👵 Check on Older People & Vulnerable Family Members
Hot weather affects some people more than others. Please check in on:
Older relatives and neighbours
People living alone
Those with long‑term health conditions
Pregnant people
Young children
A quick call or visit can make a huge difference.

💙 If you’re worried about someone
