Summer's Impact on Health

Rachel, we're just going to delve into the summer season. Does it inspire, challenge or change your community, your patients' approach to health? The summer season definitely has a real impact on our clients. They do see the longer days ahead of them and feel that they want to do a little bit more with their time because they also see that the summer is fleeting, so they want to make the most of it before the autumn and winter come along. So there's definitely more thought about what people can be doing over the summertime and often there's more opportunities and more activities taking place for them to join in with. And do you find that holidays or travel at home or abroad affects how we manage our health and if so in what ways? Yeah I mean there is, you know, for some people there can be some anxiety around travel and will there be an impact from their health condition on their travel plans. So for some you know they want to be at their best and in their best fitness level so they can go and enjoy that summertime and also being aware that you know if they do have health conditions that will impact some of their enjoyment on their holiday that they need to keep that in mind and remain sort of in control of whatever health conditions they have so they can manage things that may occur while they're abroad.
