Red Heat Alert

Please take extra care during hot weather. Avoid the sun between 11am–3pm, keep your home cool by closing curtains/windows in sunny rooms, wear light clothing and sunscreen outdoors, drink plenty of water, and limit alcohol/caffeine.

If possible, plan activities for cooler times of the day. Be aware of signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke and seek medical help if you feel unwell.

Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To request proxy access:

  • collect a proxy access form from reception during opening times

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
