🚨 Know where to go for the right care! 🚨

πŸ”΄ A&E: For serious or life-threatening emergencies like severe injuries, chest pain, or difficulty breathing. It’s for emergencies only.

🟠 Urgent Care Unit: For non-life-threatening but urgent issues like sprains, cuts, minor fractures, or infections. Often quicker than A&E and can handle many health concerns efficiently.

For non-urgent issues, visit your pharmacy or contact your GP. Choosing the right service ensures faster care for you and eases pressure on emergency services.
