Our A&E departments are very busy today. If you attend with a minor illness or injury, you will experience a wait as we will always prioritise patients with a serious or life-threatening condition.
If you have a minor illness or injury, you will be seen quicker when visiting an Urgent Treatment Centre or Minor Injuries Unit, where wait times are up two hours.
UTCs and MIUs can provide treatment for a range of minor illnesses and injuries, including burns, sprains, broken bones, or cuts.
Use NHS 111 online or phone services if you're unsure where is best for you to get the care you need. Find out more about Minor Injuries Units and Urgent Treatment Centres in your area, including waiting times, via our website: https://bit.ly/3LwLTPp
