Red Level Heat Alert

  • Keep out of the sun between 11am and 3pm
  • Plan physical activity for cooler times of day
  • Keep homes cool by closing windows and curtains in sun-facing rooms
  • Wear suitable clothing, hats and sunglasses, and use sunscreen outdoors
  • Drink plenty of fluids and limit alcohol and caffeine
  • Check on older neighbours, relatives and friends
  • Be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and seek help if symptoms develop

Heat exhaustion can include tiredness, dizziness, headache, nausea and excessive sweating. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, heatstroke is a medical emergency and urgent help is required.

IMPORTANT

Dear Patients, due to pre-planned annual leave and unexpected sickness within our clinical team, we will need to prioritise urgent appointments this week. We kindly ask that, where possible, any routine or minor concerns are postponed until next week. This will help us ensure that patients requiring urgent care can be seen promptly. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
