Residents are reminded to use NHS 111 and community pharmacies for minor illnesses and injuries, particularly during the upcoming February half-term (17 February to 21 February).
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.
Local pharmacy
Pharmacists can provide expert advice and treatment for many common conditions, including coughs, colds, sore throats, earache, minor skin problems and more.
