🎉 Schools Out – Summer Has Officially Begun! ☀️🌴
With the school holidays now here, many families will be travelling or enjoying days out. A little preparation can help keep everyone safe and healthy this summer.
Before you go:
✅ Make sure you have enough of your regular medication to last your trip – order repeat prescriptions in good time.
✅ Pack a basic first aid kit, including pain relief, plasters, antiseptic cream, insect repellent, and sunscreen.
✅ Stay hydrated, especially during hot weather.
✅ Protect your skin by using sunscreen, wearing a hat, and seeking shade during the hottest part of the day.
✅ Check if you need any travel vaccinations or health advice well before you travel.
✅ Remember to carry any important medical information with you.
If you're staying in the UK:
🌞 Keep cool during hot weather.
💧 Drink plenty of water.
👶 Take extra care of young children, older adults, and anyone with long-term health conditions.
If you become unwell while we're closed, remember to use NHS 111 for urgent medical advice. In a life-threatening emergency, always call 999.
We hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and enjoyable summer! 🌻
