Trying to sleep when it’s too hot is miserable! 🥵 Here’s a 30sec animation on how to keep a room cool in the hot weather. And remember, you can also reduce the number of layers your baby sleeps in (even down to just a nappy, if necessary) to help keep them cool.

Make sure your child is up to date with their MMR vaccination to give them the best protection again becoming seriously unwell.

Patient flow is not just about beds, space, demand & capacity
It’s about valuing patient time, keeping them well and getting them home as soon as possible
Join our 2 events that explore aspects of valuing patient time:

Being present: Take it one step at a time. Focus on the now
It can feel overwhelming with the constant burden of things to juggle
Pace yourself & ask “What do I need to do right now?”
