Great 2 days @FireFit_UK, wide variety of health and well-being talks, interesting discussions on future work. Take homes:
1) early education for career longevity is crucial, 2) create a listening and empathetic environment, 3) standardisation is key, 4) more action needed 👩🚒🚒

We have received many recent media enquiries asking how a #heatwave impacts the human body. Here is a short animation from @HeatHealth_USYD that explains the physiological impacts based on our 2021 paper @TheLancet: thelancet.com/journals/lance…

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.
