We're delighted to showcase the incredible kindness and talent from Gloucester Park Day Centre’s knit and crochet group 💙

Throughout 2025, service users lovingly handcrafted 309 items for premature babies, including cardigans, hats, blankets and more 🫶

These beautiful donations were shared with Antrim Area Hospital, Royal Victoria Hospital and Needles & Hooks Angels and Premmies, helping bring warmth and comfort to some of our tiniest and most vulnerable patients.

Our Emergency Departments are extremely busy today, and we expect long waits for patients whose conditions are not life threatening.

Our teams are triaging patients as quickly as possible to ensure those who need urgent care are seen first. We understand that long waiting times can be distressing, and we sincerely apologise for this.

Phone First is available until 6pm this evening by ringing 0300 123 1 123.

Please use this service if you are considering attending ED with an urgent injury or illness which is not immediately life-threatening 🏥

This will help to ensure you are directed to the most appropriate care pathway for your needs.
