Abstract: Le nombre des appels au NHS Direct est en lien direct avec les températures et les situations météorologiques extrêmes. Le NHS Direct possède un potentiel important en matière de surveillance. Les appels concernant des coups de soleil et de chaleur sont maintenant monitorés de manière systématique (≪UK Heat-wave plan≫). Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel 2006
