Heatwave plan

Public Health England has published guidance for the public and for health and social care professionals on managing the potential health effects of hot weather.

The guidance is a joint plan from Public Health England, NHS England, the Department of Health and the Local Government Association, with input from the VCS and other stakeholders.

The guidance details the actions that can be taken by health and social care professionals, the public and others before and during periods of hot weather.
