We all know how important hydration is both for ourselves and our patients.

Drinking enough fluid each day is vital. Signs of being dehydrated include:
💧tiredness
💧headaches
💧feeling confused as well as having a dry, sticky mouth.

Make sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day and you may need more if you’re exercising or the weather is especially hot!

Contact your GP practice if you are experiencing this or any other new or worrying symptoms: nhs.uk/cancersymptoms
