We’ve teamed up with @metoffice to help you get #WeatherReady for summer. Before you go, take a few minutes to refresh your water safety knowledge. It could make all the difference in an emergency. Read the Water Safety Code: rlss.org.uk/water-safety-a…

With warm weather forecast this weekend and into next week, more of us will enjoy spending time in, on, or around water, so it’s important to stay safe. Take a few minutes to read our essential water safety advice: 👉 rlss.org.uk/water-safety-a…

Today marks Clinical Trials Day! Every new drug or improved treatment, every life saved or made better through health or social care. They all happen because of people like you taking part in research. Together, we can help research go further, faster - developing life-changing treatments for ourselves, our loved ones and everybody. Whatever your age, gender or background, we can all be part of research. ❤️ Sign up to #BePartofResearch ⬇️ bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/join?utm_sourc…
