Staying Safe in the Hot Weather- Met Office Heat Alert

As the hot weather sets in the Met Office have issued a heat alert to ensure everyone stays safe.

Temperatures will rise through the weekend, becoming particularly hot from Monday next week. For more information, please visit: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/heat-health/...(External link)

Extreme heat can pose serious health risks and cause excess mortality, particularly among older people, the very young and people with long term conditions.

Please find in the link below the heatwave plan for England, that sets out key actions for NHS and care providers, plus voluntary sector partners. There are some useful posters also for the general public and also for care home settings: https://www.gov.uk/.../publicat.../heatwave-plan-for-england(External link)
