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
