Important: Warrington Emergency Department (A&E) is exceptionally busy

Our team are working hard to assess and treat patients as quickly and effectively as possible to reduce delays, prioritising our most unwell patients first.

Please do think about whether the Emergency Department is where you really need to be. Unless it’s a life-threatening or severe illness or injury, we urge you to contact your GP, attend your local pharmacy, urgent treatment centre or contact NHS 111 for advice and care.

People with life-threatening illnesses or injuries should continue to dial 999. Anyone who arrives at the Emergency Department will still receive medical care but may have a lengthy wait as we will prioritise those in greatest need.
