🌞 Heatwave advice for patients 🌞

A period of very hot weather is affecting Wales, with weather warnings in place. Please take extra care of yourself, your family, neighbours and anyone who may be more vulnerable in the heat.

To stay safe:

💧 Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day
🌳 Stay in the shade where possible
🏠 Keep your home as cool as you can by closing curtains in rooms facing the sun
👕 Wear light, loose clothing
☀️ Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day, especially between 11am and 3pm
🚶 Avoid strenuous activity or exercise in the heat
🍷 Avoid excess alcohol, as this can increase dehydration
👶 Take extra care with babies, young children, older people and anyone with long term health conditions
☎️ Check in on relatives, friends or neighbours who may struggle to keep cool

If you feel unwell, dizzy, faint, very thirsty, sick, confused, have a headache, cramps, fast breathing or a racing heartbeat, move to a cool place, drink fluids and seek advice if symptoms do not improve.

Please contact NHS 111 Wales for advice if you are concerned. Call 999 in an emergency, especially if someone is confused, unconscious, having a seizure, short of breath, or remains unwell after cooling down.

Take care and stay safe 💙

🫁💉 Have you had your pneumonia vaccine?

The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against serious illnesses caused by pneumococcal bacteria, including pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis.

You will be eligible for a free NHS pneumococcal vaccine if you are:

🌟 Aged 65 or over
🌟 Aged 2 or over with certain long term health conditions, including:
❤️ Long term heart disease
🫁 COPD or severe asthma requiring regular steroids
💙 Diabetes treated with medication
🧬 Long term kidney or liver disease
🛡️ A weakened immune system
🧠 A cerebrospinal fluid leak
🩸 No spleen, a spleen problem, sickle cell disease or coeliac disease affecting the spleen
👂 A cochlear implant
🔥 Regularly exposed to metal fumes at work, for example welders

Most people only need one dose, but some patients with specific health conditions may need further doses.

If you think you are eligible and have not had your pneumonia vaccine, or you are not sure whether you have had it before, please contact the surgery and we can check your record for you. 📞😊

Protect yourself this season, one quick vaccine can make a big difference. 💪🫁💙

05/06/2026

A vaccine has been offered to pregnant women in Wales since September 2024, which protects your baby from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) – a common virus that can lead to serious illness in newborns and young infants.

If you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more, you’re eligible to receive the RSV vaccine as part of your routine antenatal care.

To offer your baby the best protection, you should have your vaccine appointment between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy (where the vaccine is more effective).

You can contact your midwife or your GP about this appointment. If your GP surgery is not offering the RSV vaccine, the immunisation team will be vaccinating at the following RSV clinics:
• Neath Port Talbot Hospital - Birth Centre. Tuesday and Thursday - 9:30am - 12:30pm and 1:00pm – 4:30pm.
• Singleton Hospital - Antenatal Clinic. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday - 9:30am - 12:30pm and 1:30pm - 4:30pm.

These clinics are drop-in only - no appointment needed.

Why it matters:
• RSV is a leading cause of hospitalisation in babies under one year old.
• The vaccine helps protect your baby through antibodies passed from you to your unborn baby during pregnancy.
• It’s safe, effective, and given at the same time as other routine vaccinations.

Missed your appointment?

If you’re 28 weeks or more and haven’t been offered the vaccine, please speak to your midwife or antenatal team – it’s not too late.

If you miss your vaccine, you can have it until your baby is born. However, if you have it later in pregnancy it may not be as effective.
