Whether it's long hours, stress, blurred lines between work and home, or peer pressure to drink alcohol at workplace socials, there are so many ways work and alcohol are linked.

This are opening the conversation about the relationship between alcohol and work and how making changes to our drinking, even a little, can make a big difference to improving our health, productivity and happiness.

A Yellow Met Office Heat-health Alert has been issued for the West Midlands and is in effect between 12 PM on 27/06/2025 and 6 PM on 01/07/2025.

Here is some information about how to beat the heat.

Stay out of the heat
- Keep out of the sun between 11:00am and 3:00pm
- Carry out strenuous outdoor activities, like DIY or gardening, during the cooler parts of the day (such as early morning)
- If you must go out, stay in the shade, wear a hat and apply suncream
- Wear light, loose-fitting clothes, preferably cotton

Stay cool
- Stay inside, in the coolest rooms in your home
- Close the curtains in rooms that get a lot of sun
- Keep windows closed while the room is cooler than outside; open them when the temperature inside rises, and at night for ventilation
- Take cool showers or baths, and splash your face and the back of your neck with cool water regularly.
- Do not cool off in open water - this can be extremely dangerous. The only safe place to swim is in a swimming pool.

Drink regularly
- Drink regularly even if you do not feel thirsty – water and fruit juice are best
- Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol
- Eat cold foods, particularly salads and fruit which contain water

Seek advice
- If you’re worried about your health during a heatwave, especially if you are taking medication, or have any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor, a pharmacist or visit the NHS website (https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/seasonal-health/heatwave-how-to-cope-in-hot-weather/)
- Look after yourself and others, especially those at greater risk such as elderly people and children. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: headaches, dizziness
nausea and vomiting, muscle weakness or cramps, pale skin and a high temperature
- If you or someone you know experiences a sudden rise in temperature, confusion or loss of consciousness, heatstroke may have developed
- If you have these symptoms, rest for several hours, keep cool and drink water or fruit juice. Seek medical advice if you get worse or the symptoms don’t go away.
