Staff at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) are helping colleagues to stay cool, on what is expected to be the hottest day of the year.
Bosses at SaTH have arranged for bottled water to be given free of charge to doctors, nurses and all other healthcare professionals.
Paula Dabbs, Head of Organisational Development at SaTH, said: “I want to say a huge thank you to everyone for keeping going during this really hot weather. From talking to colleagues across different parts of our hospitals I know how hard it is working during this incredible heatwave.
“While everyone knows the importance of keeping patients as comfortable as they can be, it is also really important that our staff take great care of themselves during the hot weather—and staying hydrated is just one way of doing that.”
Thousands of water bottles were made available for staff to collect outside the restaurants at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford from 10.30am.
