If you cannot make your appointment

Accident and emergency services
Our A&E (accident and emergency) departments will of course remain open. However, people are asked to only visit if they have suffered a serious injury or accident, or have developed a sudden serious illness or medical condition.
It is important that people with minor conditions use alternative services to ensure we can focus on those patients who have more serious problems.
Look after yourself in the cold weather - keep warm, keep well.
