Summer safety: tips for families from paediatric emergency doctors

Summer is here, and whether you have plans to take to the water, set out on a road-trip, or have fun in the sun, we’ve got advice to help everyone enjoy the season safely.

The video was created with families in mind and provides clear, actionable tips on: 

  • water safety 

  • sun protection 

  • natural dangers 

  • seatbelts 

  • and household hazards. 

The video features 4 of our paediatric emergency doctors, Dr Tobias van Hest, Dr Preeti Ramaswamy, Dr Erin Mills, and Dr Adam West. 

Drawing on their expertise and real-world experience, they offer valuable insights and guidance that can make a real difference during the holiday period. 

We hope you have a wonderful summer.
