Related Content
The UK is experiencing very high temperatures this week, with more heatwaves expected to come, and while many of us may welcome the warmer and sunnier climes, the dangers and casualties which come with a heatwave can put healthcare under increased pressure.
To support you, Dr Sarah Jarvis, has pulled together a number of useful, clinically-authored articles available on Patient.info that outline how we can look after ourselves and our patients, including:
- How to prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke and spot the warnings signs too
- How to protect your skin from the harmful effects of sunlight
- Better understand heat rash and prickly heat
- Make sure you are not making common sun protection mistakes
- How to treat sunburn at home
- How to protect a bald head from the sun
- How to stay cool indoors (this article was published during lockdown, but much of the advice still applies)
Please take a look and share with your colleagues, patients, friends and family.
Take care and keep cool!
