⚠️ Our A&E is extremely busy – expect long waits ⚠️

We are currently experiencing very high attendances at our Emergency Department. Our staff are working exceptionally hard to care for everyone, and we want to reassure you that essential services remain available for those who need them most.

Please help us by using A&E only for emergencies, critical or life-threatening situations.

If you attend for anything else, you may face long waits as we prioritise patients with the greatest need first.

If you’re unsure what to do, there are other options:
✅ NHS 111 online for quick advice
✅ Call NHS 111
✅ Check symptoms and treatments: https://ow.ly/4HFg50XAvYz
✅ Use Pharmacy First for minor conditions:
✅ Find an open pharmacy: search ‘Find a pharmacy NHS’
More advice is available on our website: https://www.coch.nhs.uk/patients-visitors-and-public/emergency-care.aspx

Thank you for helping us to keep A&E available for those who need it most

🌙 Ahead of Ramadan, our Diabetes Specialist Nurse team took time on the wards this week to talk with staff about safe fasting for people with diabetes.

These conversations really opened eyes – many colleagues told us they’d never realised how much fasting can affect patients or fellow staff, for example with things like blood sugar levels and how that might show.

The team has now shared quick reference guidance in English and Arabic to help everyone feel confident offering support, and we’ve passed this on to colleagues at our neighbouring Trust, and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, too.

Thank you to Natalie and the team for leading such caring, proactive work. 💙
