This BBQ season please remember a BBQ and the ground underneath it can stay hot enough to cause a serious burn for a long time after itβs been used.
So, stay alert and keep children well away from the cooking area until itβs completely cooled.

Weβve seen an alarming β¬οΈ in the number of scald injuries to babies & young children from the incorrect use of hot water bottles. Please familiarise yourself with hot water bottle safety and first advice before using around your little ones #BeBurnsAware #NBAD2023 Swansea Bay NHS
When itβs chilly, having a nice hot water bottle is a great way to warm up and feel cosy. But hot water bottles can be dangerous and cause serious burns if they are not used properly.

Did you know hot water bottles degrade and expire...
We recommend you change every year or better still have a heat pack! #BeBurnsAware for National Burns Awareness Day (prev post accidently deleted)
Tis the season for sipping hot chocolate. But did you know hot drinks can take 15 mins to cool down to a temperature that will not scald a young child? So please keep hot drinks out of reach.

Burn care begins as soon as the burn happens - #CoolCallCover - cool with tepid water for 20mins, call for help - 999 or 111, cover with clingfilm or a non-fluffy fabric(like a t shirt) while you get to hospital. Good first aid can save lives #BeBurnsAware youtu.be/tEMzeELjJ_E?siβ¦
