DAUK has launched a short survey to find out what working conditions are like in the NHS during the current heatwave.
A red weather warning is in place for southern England and Wales with temperatures climbing above 33C in some parts of the country.
Forecasters expect June records to be challenged or exceeded during the current heatwave.
Survey
We’re asking healthcare workers to complete our anonymous survey and to tell us what conditions are really like on the ground.
Tell us how hot your workplace has been during this week’s heatwave. Does your main clinical area have working air conditioning? Is the heat affecting patient care, staffing, or your own wellbeing?
Would you support a legal maximum temperature for workplaces, including hospitals?
The survey should take two or three minutes to complete and is anonymous.
Heatwave
Your experiences will help us build a clearer picture of how the NHS is coping during this heatwave.
DAUK will write to the Department of Health with the findings.
Please take a few minutes to complete our survey and share it with colleagues: https://dauk.org/heatwave-survey-2026/
