The Emergency Departments in Hull, Scunthorpe and Grimsby can be extremely busy at times so you could face long waits unless you're in need of emergency treatment.

If you can, please consider alternative health services in the community like your pharmacist, who can now prescribe antibiotics for some conditions, the Urgent Treatment Centres or call your GP to speak to a health care professional if you can't get an appointment.

If you're not sure where to go for help, call 111, visit NHS111 or use the NHS app for help.
