Our Network Lead Nurse attended the Liverpool and Sefton Mencap Conference to learn about the I’m In campaign. Some people with CHD also have a learning disability, joining the Learning Disability Register is key in ensuring they receive the adjustments and support they need.

Living with CHD means you need to be mindful in the heat. High temperatures can put extra strain on your heart so take care of yourself...

💧 Stay hydrated
🧢 Wear a hat and light clothing
⛱️ Stick to the shade or stay indoors
📱 Let someone know if you feel unwell
