New campaign helping to keep Lanarkshire residents safe during summer holidays

With the summer holidays now fully underway across Scotland, NHS 24 is sharing summer health advice to keep Lanarkshire residents happy and healthy throughout the holiday season.

The campaign, Hello Summer, signposts people to the correct health advice and services if they need help during the holidays.

Topics such as hay fever, sun safety, kids’ injuries, BBQ food safety and hydration will all be covered.

Dr Paul Perry, a GP and Associate Medical Director at NHS 24, said: “The summer holidays are a great chance for family, friends and communities to spend time together and relax in hopefully nicer weather or travel further afield to enjoy a break away from home.

“It’s worth remembering a few small steps that can keep you and your family safe from common summer health issues such as hay fever, sunburn and insect bites.

“Most summer health complaints can be safely treated at home, so our ‘Hello Summer’ campaign will help people to avoid illness and when and where to seek medical advice if needed.”

General advice and information on how to stay healthy can be found at www.nhsinform.scot.
