โ˜€๏ธ Amber Heat-He

โ˜€๏ธ Amber Heat-Health Alert: Please Take Extra Care โ˜€๏ธ

An amber heat-health alert is in place across parts of England, and as a carer, it's worth keeping an extra close eye on both yourself and the person you look after during this time. Older people, young children, and those with existing health conditions can be particularly at risk in hot weather.

๐Ÿ’ง Staying hydrated is one of the simplest ways to protect against heat-related illness, for both you and the person you care for. If you'd like a refresher on the signs to look out for and how to keep on top of it, our FREE Online Hydration Training takes just 20 minutes and can be watched anytime.

๐Ÿ”— Find out more about Hydration Training: uk.surveymonkey.com/r/Carershydrationtrainingsignin

See below for the NHS's official alert and tips on staying cool. ๐Ÿ‘‡An amber heat-health alert is in place across parts of England from today until 14 August.

During an amber alert, hot weather can put more peopleโ€™s health at risk โ€“ not just those who are usually more vulnerable.

Older people, young children and people with existing health conditions may be particularly at risk.

Take extra care and look out for others who may struggle in the heat.
