Our Emergency Department (A&E) is for serious and life or limb threatening conditions. If you need medical help and unsure of where to go, contact http://111.nhs.uk or call 111

10/11/2025

If you have an urgent – but not life threatening – medical need, your local A&E department will not be the place for you.
If you’re unsure whether to go to A&E, please start with NHS 111 first. You can visit them online or give them a call. They will direct you to the best service to get the right treatment.

Today we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made by members of our Armed Forces.

Their commitment to protecting and serving our communities will forever be remembered with gratitude, and their legacy of courage continues to inspire us all.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them 💙
