Heat exhaustion or heatstroke? Know when to get help.

Heat exhaustion can usually be treated at home if you act quickly. Cool down, drink fluids and rest. Most people improve within 30 minutes. If you’re worried or symptoms are hard to manage, call NHS 111.

Heatstroke = emergency
Call 999 immediately if someone:
• has a very high temperature
• has hot skin that’s not sweating
• is confused, collapses or has a seizure
• is still unwell after 30 minutes of cooling

MENINGITIS OUTBREAK – IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS FROM THE IVERS PRACTICE.
Please note we are currently experiencing high volumes of calls and emails.
We are unable to offer the Meningitis B vaccine to non-eligible age groups or children who did not receive this as part of their routine childhood immunisations before the programme was introduced in 2015.
What’s happening?
• There is a meningococcal disease outbreak in Kent.
• UKHSA is working to contain the outbreak and is giving prophylaxis antibiotics to close contacts.
• No new advice has been issued about accessing the MenB vaccine for the wider public.
What protection does my secondary-aged child already have?
• Children receive Hib/MenC at 1 year of age, which provides early protection.
• In Year 9, young people are offered the MenACWY vaccine.
• MenACWY provides protection during the later school years and into college/university, where risk is higher.
• This means most secondary-aged children already have strong protection against the meningococcal strains of greatest concern in teens and young adults
Know the Symptoms of Meningitis - Seek urgent medical help if you notice:
• Rash that doesn’t fade with pressure
• High fever
• Severe headache
• Stiff neck
• Vomiting
• Cold hands or feet
• Confusion
Reduce the Risk
• Wash hands regularly
• Don’t share drinks, vapes, or cigarette
