Important Weather Update

With an Amber weather warning currently in place and further extreme heat expected later this week, we would like to remind all clients to take extra care during this period.

Your health and wellbeing are our priority. Please only attend your appointment if you are feeling well enough to do so and can travel safely. We do not recommend travelling long distances during periods of extreme heat, particularly if you are feeling unwell, fatigued, or affected by your treatment.

If you have any concerns about attending your appointment, or would prefer to discuss alternative support options, please contact us by phone or email and we will be happy to help.

Please see the NHS guidelines below for advice on how to cope in hot weather:

Take care and stay safe.
