title: The recognition and management of body temperature disturbances in Royal Navy personnel.
abstract: This article discusses hypothermia and hyperthermia, described together as thermal illness. These conditions are seen within the United Kingdom (UK) Armed Forces population at home and abroad and may endanger life, with significant implications for both the individual and the chain of command. Recognition and management from initial presentation to return to duty is discussed and guidance given on occupational considerations.
