Our emergency departments remain under extreme pressure, with high numbers of very unwell patients, resulting in exceptionally long wait times.

Please help us to help you by choosing the healthcare service most suitable to your needs so that you get the care you need as soon as possible.

This is not always attendance at our emergency departments, but may be being treated at a minor injury unit, walk-in centre, your GP surgery or local pharmacy. This also helps reduce pressure on our emergency departments, freeing them up to help those who need it most.
