The summer holidays are upon us and the weather has cranked up a notch which means that for most of us, we’re enjoying the outdoors more. Unfortunately, this also means that our A&E service feels the pressure.
The Mid Yorkshire NHS reported in May this year, that they “are seeing an increased number of attendances to their A&E departments and are anticipating even higher attendances as the weather gets warmer”
It is vital that we are accessing the right health care through the correct channels this summer to ensure that A&E departments aren’t overwhelmed. Together We Can has a list of services available which could assist in helping you make the right choice of where to access help, including:
- A pharmacy finder
- Seasonal advice
- When to visit A&E
- And tips on staying well
If you’re still unsure about which healthcare service you need, you can call or access NHS 111 online to find the most appropriate care.
