When the sun finally hits the UK in the summertime, we all feel the urge to get outdoors, or pick up a new hobby. More people hit the open road for festivals, outdoor activities, camping, hikes, swimming and more.
While getting outdoors in the summer is beneficial for our physical and mental health, accidents tend to rise, and emergency services like ambulances feel the strain.
We share our recommendations for emergency ambulance equipment every vehicle should have to prepare for the upcoming outdoor events taking place this summer.
Hypothermia prevention
When the sun is shining, it is easy to forget that hypothermia is still a threat. However, hypothermia is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality within trauma patients. No matter the weather, in injury increases the risk of developing hypothermia, highlighting the need for preventative products.
