You should only attend A&E or dial 999 with a life-threatening emergency.

If you attend A&E or dial 999 for anything that is not a life-threatening emergency, you will face a long wait whilst people with genuine life-threatening emergencies are prioritised.

For help and advice when it’s not a life-threatening emergency visit 111 online or phone 111. Alternatively, your GP practice, local pharmacy, or urgent treatment centre can help.

If you can, please also support the discharge of friends and family from hospital.

Flu can be serious, especially for those at higher risk.

Flu vaccines don’t stop everyone from catching flu, but they do reduce the risk of becoming seriously unwell, needing hospital care or developing complications – especially for older adults and those with health conditions.

If you’re eligible and haven’t had yours yet, it’s not too late to get protected.

🤒 Feeling unwell? Please help protect others.

If you have flu-like or respiratory symptoms, try to limit contact with other people – especially those who may be more vulnerable, such as older adults or people with long-term health conditions.

🚫 Please don’t visit loved ones in hospital if you’re experiencing any symptoms of flu or other respiratory illness. Waiting until you feel better helps keep patients, staff, and other visitors safe.

💙 Protect yourself and your community – stay home if you can.

Thank you for helping reduce the spread of illness.
