🚨 Exceptional demand continues across our local NHS services

Due to continuing high levels of demand for NHS services, measures remain in place to reduce pressures. Thank you for your help. Please continue to:

✅ Use A&E only for serious or life-threatening emergencies.
✅ Collect loved ones, who are ready to leave hospital, as soon as possible and make sure they have what they need at home.
✅ Be aware that, if you do need A&E, you may experience a wait.

Our teams will see the most seriously ill patients first - please treat staff with respect.

If you have to visit A&E, due to a serious accident or emergency that is life threatening, please make sure you are prepared for a potential wait by taking things you may need like a charged phone, a payment method and warm, comfortable clothing. We apologise if you experience a longer wait.

Please use health services wisely. Accessing the right service at the right time may mean you’re seen quicker and helps reduce pressure.

Please remember that vaccinations significantly reduce the risk of severe illnesses and hospitalisation. Find out how to get vaccinated on the ICB website - https://orlo.uk/Gor2K

Please share this message with your colleagues and networks.

Thank you to our incredible NHS teams and partners working tirelessly across hospitals, community services and the region.

📢 Please share far and wide.

❗Only attend A&E if a true emergency, instead call 111, seek local pharmacy advice or contact your GP.

We are currently seeing very high demand for our services and are working hard to make sure patients are seen as quickly as possible. Due to this sustained pressure, particularly in our Emergency Department, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals has taken the decision to declare a Critical Incident.

We have tried and tested plans in place to help manage periods of high pressure, and ensuring safe care for patients continues to be our first priority. A&E should only be used for life-threatening illnesses and injuries. For conditions which are less urgent, please contact NHS 111, or visit a local pharmacy, walk-in centre or GP practice for advice and support instead.
