Heat-related illness can affect anyone, and over the past week we have seen a high number of people attending urgent and emergency services in need of care. While anyone can become unwell, the risk of serious illness in high temperatures is greater for older people, babies, young children, and those living with conditions such as diabetes, dementia, and heart disease.
Choose the right NHS service for your needs
Our urgent and emergency care services are currently very busy.
The Emergency Department (ED) is for serious and life-threatening conditions. We prioritise patients based on clinical need, meaning those who are most seriously ill or injured will be treated first.
If you have a serious or life-threatening emergency, please attend the ED or call 999. If your condition is not urgent, you may face a lengthy wait.
Choosing the right NHS service can help you get the care you need more quickly and ensures our emergency teams are available for those who need them most.
