➡️ UPDATE - as of Wednesday 5 November 2025 at 6pm, we are still in Critical Incident, however we are in a much better position.
Operational performance has improved, with fewer ambulance waits and long waits in A&E.
Our Electronic Patient Record position is much improved, with more of the system up and running, and less reliance on business continuity plans.
During this Critical Incident, we have not cancelled any operations.
We will remain in Critical Incident overnight and will review again in the morning (Thursday 6 November).
Please continue to follow the advice on our website. We thank all of our staff who continue to work tirelessly during these extreme pressures.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have declared a Critical Incident due to sustained pressures across the Trust, in particular our Emergency Department.
Please only use our Emergency Department in a life-threatening accident or emergency, using other services such as GPs, NHS111 and pharmacies in all other cases. Those with planned appointments should continue to attend unless told otherwise.
