With the warmer weather, it can be tempting to spend more time outdoors enjoying the sun, but it’s important to stay safe while making the most of it.

Remember to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, take breaks in the shade, and look out for those who may be more vulnerable in the heat.

Staying Hydrated💧
Don't forget to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Isotonic and electrolyte drinks are also great options for hydration. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these will dehydrate you.

Keep in the shade ⛱
Keep out of direct 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.

The Westgate Surgery team attended the Otley Show this past weekend. It was a great event, and a great opportunity to get out into the community, catch up with patients, and chat with everyone who stopped by the stall.🩵

The Westgate stall blended health promotion with plenty of family fun. Here’s a quick recap of what we got up to:

Keeping Hearts Healthy: We offered free blood pressure checks to passersby. It was a fantastic way to engage with people in a relaxed setting and promote preventative health! 🩸

The Big Raffle: Our raffle for the beautiful art print made by our very own HandmadebyHeidi! 👩‍🎨

Fun for the Kids: Pin the Tail on Uno was an absolute triumph. The kids loved it (and a few adults couldn't resist a try either!) 🐑

Healthy Snacks: To practice what we preach, we handed out free fruit to the crowds. It was a lovely touch that everyone appreciated as they walked the showground. 🍎

CPR Demos: It was fantastic to see so many people stop by, roll up their sleeves and practice their lifesaving skills on our dummies. 🫀

This week, 18–24 May, marks Dementia Action Week. 💙

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. Every 3 minutes, someone in the UK develops it. 1 in 3 people born today will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime. These are not just statistics - behind each one is a person, a family, a community navigating something incredibly difficult.
Dementia Action Week is a reminder of how important awareness, patience and understanding are in helping people feel safe, valued and supported within their own homes and communities.
Our team at Westgate Surgery attended a Dementia Awareness Event in their local area to spread awareness and offer their support to those living with dementia or supporting a loved one who is.
