The vomiting bug is most common during the winter months. Help us to protect our patients and staff from this highly contagious virus.

  • Have you had diarrhoea or vomiting in the last 48 hours?
  • Do you have an out-patient appointment scheduled in the next few days?

If yes to both questions, please call 01279 827391 to reschedule.

If you have norovirus symptoms and are concerned, please call NHS Direct on 0845 4647 for advice before attending Accident and Emergency.

country. The plans, called Building for Excellence, aim to make services more effective and improve the
experience of patients.Click here for more information.  

Choose the right NHS service
During winter, more people get ill or are injured than at any other time of the year. This means the services provided by the NHS are in great demand.

One out of every four people who go to A&E could have been treated by their GP, local pharmacist or even by themselves with basic self-care, first aid and advice.

Remember A&E and 999 services are for life-threatening and emergency conditions only.

If you are feeling unwell and need to find out which NHS service is right for you, please ring NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or visit www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk.
