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 easy 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
