Hot weather is forecast this week. ☀️ Anyone can become unwell when the weather is hot, but some are at higher risk than others. Look out for older people, people with long-term health conditions & children who may find it more difficult to stay cool and hydrated in hot weather.

Energy savings support patient care - and each small action counts. 🌞 Energy-saving tip: make use of natural daylight. One fluorescent light can cost £20 per year. Natural light is better for budgets and wellbeing.

Hot weather and thunderstorms can trigger symptoms in those who suffer with lung conditions such as asthma. If you notice the weather makes your symptoms worse and you are needing to use your inhaler more frequently, please talk to your pharmacist, contact your GP or NHS 111.
