Kings Practice Perth

Stay safe in hot weather – remember to keep cool and look out for others who are more vulnerable to the heat, such as babies, young children, older people and those with underlying health conditions.

Remember to:

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water

🌡️ Make sure babies, children, older people and pets are not left in small, closed spaces – like stationary cars – as these can get hot very quickly

☀️ Look out for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke

If you are concerned about symptoms, or they are worsening, seek medical advice by contacting 111.

At present, we are unable to book patients into clinics external to the practice. This includes appointments such as:

• First Contact Physiotherapy
• Community Mental Health Service appointments

Please note that Care and Treatment Centre call handlers are also currently unable to book appointments for blood tests and wound care as they have no system access.
