At this time of year, our A&E experiences extremely high levels of attendance.
However, for a lot of people, A&E isn’t the right place and this causes long unnecessary waits. This winter, we’re encouraging parents to consider the options before coming to A&E.
There are multiple tools to help you do this, such as NHS 111 and our online symptom checker, which can help guide you to appropriate service based on your child’s condition.
Let’s work together to keep our A&E available for those who really need it this winter.
