Happy Easter to our patients and staff. ☀️

🩺NHS 111 online is available 24/7 for advice when it’s not an emergency. You can also call 111.

💊 Pharmacies can help with many minor illnesses through the Pharmacy First service.

🏥 Minor injury units (MIUs) and the urgent treatment Centre are open every day for injuries that need attention but are not life‑threatening.

A good tip is to check live opening and wait times before you go – your nearest may not be quickest. https://royalcornwallhospitals.nhs.uk/waiting-times/urgent-care/

🏥 The emergency department and 999 are there for you if there is a serious, life-threatening emergency.

The government has published new, evidence‑informed guidance to help parents of under 5's navigate screen time, offering practical advice to support informed choices to help little brains develop healthy screen habits.

For babies and toddlers under 2, avoid screens, except for shared family activities that encourage bonding and interaction.

For 2–5s, try to keep it to no more than an hour a day - less where possible.

Choose slow-paced content with simple stories and clear speech, as fast-paced, over-stimulating social media-style videos may affect how young children learn to concentrate, so it’s best to avoid them.

Keep mealtimes and bedrooms screen-free, and try swapping screens for reading, play, and conversation.

Young children copy your habits, so try to limit your own screen use
around them.

An important point to remember is that screens shouldn’t replace a young
children’s sleep, physical activity, play or quality time.
