Given the ongoing hot weather forecast, we wanted to share the GM Talking About Heat toolkit and highlight how important this resource is for our work over the coming weeks.
The toolkit provides clear, practical guidance to help frontline staff, partners and community organisations have supportive conversations with residents who may be at greater risk during periods of extreme heat. It also includes key messages, simple prompts and advice that can help prevent avoidable harm, particularly for people living with long‑term conditions, older adults, and those in insecure or poor‑quality housing.
With temperatures expected to remain high, this is a timely reminder of the role we all play in keeping people safe and well. Using the toolkit will help ensure consistent messaging across services and strengthen our collective response.
