According to the UK heat health alert website, a yellow alert means significant impacts are possible across the health and social care services due to the high temperatures, including:
- A rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions. There may also be impacts on younger age groups.
- A likely increase in demand for health services.
- Internal temperatures in care settings (hospitals and care homes) may exceed the recommended threshold for clinical risk assessment.
- The heat affecting the ability of the workforce to deliver services.
- Indoor environments overheating increasing the risk to vulnerable people living independently in community and care settings.
