The QA hospital site remains incredibly busy, and we will only be using our Emergency Department (ED) for life threatening injuries or illnesses. You will be redirected to alternative services if you arrive at our ED requiring minor care. Please make sure you use NHS 111 Online and Pharmacies to get help and advice on non-life threatening injuries and illnesses. Find more information on how to keep well, here.

Thank you for your continued support.
