As the sun sets in Wales we want to say a big thank you to all our staff & volunteers who have worked tirelessly through the heat to care for others. The ☀️ will be back tomorrow so take care, stay hydrated & keep applying sun cream. Remember 999 is for real emergencies only.

Life is tough right now but we’re all in this together. The more we heed the advice and do the right thing, the sooner we’ll get through this pandemic. Look after yourself and others. Don't take unnecessary risks and save lives. Meanwhile, keep 999 and A&E for emergencies only.
