Intelligence suggests there could be unrest in East Birmingham today. Please be aware of this if you need to travel to Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. Try not to travel alone, but also not to travel in a large group. Please remain vigilant, and try to have alternative travel routes identified.

There is a global issue impacting computer systems, and clinical records are currently unavailable. We can still see patients who are acutely unwell, but would request that any patients with non-urgent issues wait until after the weekend. Your pharmacy may still be able to see you for sore throats, coughs & colds, ear problems, etc.
