South East Coast Ambulance Service is asking the public for its support as they cheer on the Three Lions or their chosen country this summer.

During the most recent heatwave the Trust handled an average of more than 3,500 calls to 999 a day up almost a third from cooler days.

SECAmb Call volume remained significantly higher across the whole heatwave with more than 46,000 calls answered between 17-29 May.

The public is urged help ease pressure if possible, this summer by making use of 999, NHS 111 or community pharmacies.
