As temperatures across the UK begin to soar this week, one of the UK’s leading GPs has issued a stark warning to Brits thinking about basking in the sunshine.
Ahead of Thursday, predicted to be the hottest day of the year, Dr Chun Tang, Medical Director at Pall Mall Medical, says: “We don't tend to get a lot of sunshine in the UK and so it’s understandable that, when we do, we want to spend as much time outdoors as possible.
“It’s important, however, to take extra precautionary measures to ensure you’re staying safe whilst exposed to UV rays and the heat, especially those who are more vulnerable.”
