Our Emergency Department is currently extremely busy
Our Emergency Department is extremely busy. Please only attend if your child is seriously unwell. If not, our NHS can help your family through other avenues.
Remember your local Pharmacy offers an easy and convenient way of getting advice on minor health conditions. They can offer treatment and prescription medications (if appropriate) for conditions such as earache, sore throat and sinusitis. You don't need an appointment and private consultation rooms are available.
Find your nearest Pharmacy using this link and find out more about the support they can offer online.
If you feel you need to, rather than attending our Emergency Department, contact your GP Practice or NHS 111 for advice.
We are seeing a high number of patients with flu currently. The Healthier Together website has some really useful information and advice for families about symptoms and where best to turn for support.
If you do need to attend our Emergency Department with your child, please do wear a face mask to protect yourself, other families and our teams caring for patients. A maximum of two people (two adults or one adult/one child) should accompany.
