Our hospitals are extremely busy

Unless your condition is life threatening please do not attend the Emergency Department. There are lots of other ways to access help and you will be seen much quicker by using NHS 111. If you arrive with a minor problem there will be a long wait and we may still direct you elsewhere for treatment

Click here for 111 online

Help keep our hospitals safe!

If you’re feeling under the weather with cold or flu like symptoms, please consider postponing your visit to the hospital. Protect our vulnerable patients and staff by staying home until you’re feeling better.
