We continue to remain in a Critical Incident today, Monday 16 February, due to continued pressures across our hospitals.

How you can help:

⭕️ If your relative is due to be discharged from hospital and needs to be collected, please do so as early as possible. This will help our teams and free up a hospital bed for someone waiting to be admitted.

⭕️ Only call 999 or attend ED for serious accidents and for life threatening emergencies.
Where the situation is not life-threatening, alternative support will be available through NHS111 online or by calling 111.

⭕️ Please do not visit your loved ones in hospital if you have any flu or other respiratory illness symptoms - please wait until you are better to visit them.

Have your say on our new children, young people and families website!

We’re working on updating our children, young people and families section of our website, and we’d like your help to shape it.

Our web team has created a small number of concept-only design ideas to explore how the website could look and feel in the future.

These concepts are not final designs, but early ideas to help us understand what works well and what could be improved.

We want the website to feel clear, welcoming and supportive for everyone who uses it — including children and young people, parents and carers, and professionals. It’s important that the site is easy to understand, accessible and reflects the wide range of experiences and emotions people may have when accessing support.

By taking part, you can share your views on different aspects of the designs, such as colours, imagery and overall feel. Your feedback will help us understand whether the concepts feel calm, reassuring and inclusive and whether they meet the needs of a diverse audience.

There are no right or wrong answers. We are simply interested in your honest thoughts and first impressions. Every response will help guide the next stage of development and ensure the website is shaped by the people who use it.

To access the form simply follow this link: https://orlo.uk/693dp

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. Your feedback will help us create a website that better supports children, young people and families when they need it most.
