The pathophysiology of heat illness and its aetiology is poorly understood and multifactorial in its presentation. Many patients appear to recover very quickly and whilst some do well others have significant morbidity. Clinicians can fail to appreciate the potential impact of this for our patients. With features of heat illness common to other conditions such as sepsis and rhabdomyolysis, this presentation will explore the condition and avenues for future research.
