A core body temperature monitoring system comprises a first, core body temperature, thermometer and a second thermometer comprising a heat flux sensor. The second thermometer is for application to the skin for providing temperature monitoring over time. The second thermometer is calibrated using an output from the first core body temperature thermometer during an initial measurement operation. The first thermometer is removably attached to the second thermometer, wherein the first thermometer is adapted for use while attached to the second thermometer, and is then removed when the second thermometer is to be used. This system provides calibration of a flux sensor which is applied to the skin, by using an initial core body temperature measurement. In this way, the functionality and usage of a classic core body temperature thermometer is combined with a wearable continuous monitoring capability.
