Today we were delighted to welcome Neil Joshi of NJ&Co and his five-year-old son Vihaah, who arrived with a very special donation for our young patients! 🧸

When Neil told Vihaah he would be bringing gifts to the Children’s Ward, this incredible little boy emptied his own money box - savings he’d been putting away for a family holiday to Italy - and chose presents to donate himself. ✨

With special permission from school, Vihaah joined his dad to hand over a big bag of gifts, pictured here with Ashleigh Elam, Sister on the Children’s Ward.

A huge thank you to Neil and Vihaah for their generosity and for bringing so much joy to our patients this festive season.🎁

We are urging the public to choose the best option for healthcare this Christmas, when GP surgeries are closed🎄

While dialling 999 is essential for life-threatening injury or illness, there is a wide range of other help available, including:

👉 Minor injury units and urgent treatment centres, for less-serious accidents and illnesses.

👉 The NHS 111 service, available online or via phone to advise on the best course of action. Patients can often be booked into appointments, including for urgent dental treatment.

👉 Community pharmacists, who can provide urgent advice and medication for winter ailments and do not need an appointment.

Our Emergency Departments are often busy across December and into Christmas 🎄

If your condition isn’t an emergency, there are quicker ways to get help.

Try: NHS 111 • Pharmacy • GP • Minor Injuries Units

Thank you for helping us care for those most in need ❤️

With Christmas on the way, Emergency Departments are often extremely busy.

If you could be seen elsewhere, please choose another service - it’s faster and helps keep ED free for emergencies.

Think NHS 111 | Pharmacy | GP | Minor Injuries Units

We appreciate your support 💙
