Avoid A+E unless you have to go there is message

IN preparation of winter 2025, Warwickshire County Council and health partners working with hospitals and essential services, are reemphasising the need to avoid A&E, unless absolutely necessary.

- 

Essentially A&E departments are for serious injuries and life-threatening emergencies, such as heart attacks, strokes, seizures and heavy bleeding. Across Warwickshire hospitals will be under intense strain and the message for residents, if possible, is to find alternative services.

Warwickshire County Council has therefore produced a handy flyer that clearly highlights other health services, including GPs, pharmacists, walk in centres through to self-treatment for minor ailments, for residents to use.
