🌞 Stay well and safe in the heat 🌞

With the warmer weather, please help us keep you well and reduce pressure on NHS services by following some simple steps:

✅ Keep cool

- Stay indoors or in the shade during the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm).
- Use fans, close curtains on sunny sides of the house, and open windows when it’s cooler outside.

💧 Stay hydrated

- Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you don’t feel very thirsty.
- Avoid too much alcohol and caffeine, which can make you more dehydrated.

🧴 Protect your skin

- Use high‑factor sunscreen and reapply regularly.
- Wear a hat, sunglasses and light, loose‑fitting clothing.

👶👵 Look out for others

- Check in on older people, babies and young children, and anyone with long‑term health conditions – they are more at risk from the heat.
- Never leave anyone (including pets) in a parked car, even for a short time.

⚠️ When to seek help

If you’re worried about heat‑related symptoms (such as dizziness, confusion, severe headache, chest pain or shortness of breath), seek advice promptly:
Use NHS 111 online in the first instance
Call 999 in a medical emergency

For more information on staying well in hot weather, see NHS England guidance:

Please help us by self‑caring where you can and using pharmacies and NHS 111 appropriately, so GP and emergency services are available for those who need them most. Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. 🌤️

☀Tips for coping in hot weather☀

Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.

Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.

Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
