During the bank holiday weekend, health services are likely to be under pressure, with A&E departments and NHS 111 phone service expected to be busy. NHS 111 online works in the same way as the 111 phone service. It can help support anyone over the age of five.

Please remember: If you no longer need an ambulance this bank holiday or have made your own way to the hospital, that’s OK, but please call us back on 999 to cancel. 111.nhs.uk is there when you need medical help quickly, but it's not an emergency. #999

‼️ We are incredibly pressured currently with > 140 pts. Please keep us free for emergencies only. If not an urgent or emergency issue, you will have a long wait. Other services may be more appropriate. Please share. Thank you.‼️

🚨 Today is Emergency Medicine Day. Let’s honour our team and our colleagues around the world who save lives every single day. #EmergencyMedicineDay #SavingLives #emergencymedicine
