With hot weather set for this weekend, stay safe if you’re heading to the water ☀️🌊

Even on warm days, the sea, rivers and lakes can be cold enough to trigger cold water shock - a sudden reaction that can make it hard to breathe and swim.

If you fall in:
➡️ Stay calm and float on your back
➡️ Control your breathing
➡️ Call for help once you’ve recovered

Plan ahead, know your limits, and choose lifeguarded spots where possible.

In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

The Isle of Wight has seen temperatures of more than 25 degrees this weekend, and we are sure many of you are out enjoying the sunshine!

However, we want you to remember the importance of staying safe in the heat and hopefully avoiding a trip to our Emergency Department (ED), so we've shared some top tips.

Dehydration can be one of the main causes of ED attendance during peak temperatures, so remember to drink plenty of fluids. And we know that sunshine calls for a BBQ, but stay safe around any open flame or hot utensils. If you do receive a burn that requires medical attention, our Urgent Treatment Centres will be able to help.
