🌞 HOT WEATHER REMINDER 🌞

With the hot weather, please remember to keep medications cool and out of direct sunlight. If your medicine requires refrigeration, ensure it is stored according to the instructions to maintain its safety and effectiveness.

Starting tomorrow, amber and yellow heat-health alerts have been issued across most of the country. They are in place for the 29 and 30 July.

Some people – particularly the elderly, very young, or those with existing health conditions – face a real risk to their health and need to take steps to keep cool.

As temperatures rise, learn how to look after yourself and others ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/seasonal-health/heatwave-how-to-cope-in-hot-weather/
