With the heatwave across the UK, maintaining comfort and wellbeing in care settings becomes even more important. ☀️
Swipe to read three practical tips to support patients and caregivers during this period of hot weather:
💧 Proactive hydration helps patients drink regularly throughout the day, with close monitoring for anyone unable to drink independently. Keeping fluids within easy reach (such as with an overbed table) supports safe, consistent intake.
🚿 Gentle, regular hygiene can reduce sweat build‑up, promote comfort, and support skin integrity.
⛅ Managing sunlight exposure helps keep rooms cooler during the hottest hours.
