Closures and reduced service due to extreme heat
Due to the Met office warnings about extreme heat and UKHSA red heat-health alert, we’re closing our drop-in services and rescheduling pre-booked appointments on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 June. We may also have less capacity in our drop-in services on days when an amber warning is in effect.
If you need help, we’re aiming to put additional capacity into our phone and online services that can be accessed from home. Please avoid traveling to our offices this week and read the NHS guidance about coping in hot weather on days when an amber or red alert has been issued.
