Important: Accessing urgent and emergency treatment
Our Emergency Department (A&E) at Warrington Hospital is experiencing extremely high demand, with a significant increase in attendances. 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 must prioritise those in greatest need of emergency treatment.
Visiting your loved ones
If you have any symptoms of norovirus (including feeling sick, being sick or diarrhoea) please do not visit loved ones in hospital until you're 48 hours symptom free.
