Healthcare services, including the Urgent and emergency Care Centre, are very busy. Only attend if you need urgent medical attention or if a healthcare professional advises you to.

Use NHS 111 online for advice. Your local pharmacist can also give advice on many common illnesses and ailments.

Norovirus causes diarrhoea and vomiting. If you feel unwell, have any current norovirus symptoms, or your sickness and diarrhoea has only recently stopped, please don’t visit our hospital.

Even if you feel better you could still be infectious and pass the virus on to patients and staff.
