Listen to your body.

Act now on cancer.

Have you noticed a change in your body? In particular, have you noticed:

A lump?
Are you losing weight without trying?
Blood in your poo or p*e?
Or any unexplained pain that won’t go?

❗️

Due to increased pressures, we have taken the decision to escalate to OPEL 4 – the highest level of internal escalation. This allows us to be able to take additional steps to maintain safe services.

As always, patient safety must take priority and we need to take action to make sure that those who are more clinically urgent get the help they need as quickly as possible.

There are some immediate actions being taken by Trust teams and our partners.

Our hospitals are extremely busy so please make sure that you choose the right NHS service for your needs. If you're not sure which service is right for you, call 111 or visit https://111.nhs.uk.

A big thank you to all our colleagues working hard under pressure.
