Bu Paskalya'da sağlık hizmetleri için sağa sola koşuşturmaktan kaçının

 

Bristol, Kuzey Somerset ve Güney Gloucestershire'da yaşayanlar ve ziyaretçiler, yaklaşan Paskalya tatili öncesinde sağlık hizmetleri seçenekleri hakkında bilgi edinmeye teşvik ediliyor.

NHS Bristol, North Somerset ve South Gloucestershire ICB'nin Baş Tıp Sorumlusu Yardımcısı Dr. Geeta Iyer şunları söyledi:

“Our hospitals and wider health and care system have already been under significant pressure over recent weeks and bank holidays are also a traditionally a busy time for NHS services.

“That’s why we’re encouraging local people, and visitors to the area, to get to know about the different health care services that are available and most suitable to help your specific needs.

“By learning the local options available you’re not only helping our staff, but also you’ll access the right care first time.”

Services available in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire throughout the bank holiday include:

  • NHS 111 can help if you think you need medical help right away. It’s available 24/7 online at 111.nhs.uk or by calling 111 and can guide you to the right care for your needs including injury or illness, an existing medical condition, dental care, mental health, and prescriptions or medicines information.
  • Minor injury units in Clevedon and Yate and the urgent care centre in South Bristol – offer walk-in support for injuries that aren’t life-threatening, such as minor broken bones and burns.

Additional staff will be supporting the NHS111 services as well as the Rapid Emergency Assessment Care Team (REACT) in Bristol emergency departments.
