People are being urged use NHS 111 services and to only visit Gloucestershire A&E departments in a life-threatening emergency. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

We remain under extreme pressure. 🚑 Please #HelpUsHelpYou - if you've called 999, please don't ring back simply to ask for an estimated arrival time - but do call if the patient’s condition worsens, or if they are making their own way to hospital. Thank you 💚

Please share: the 99 Bus Service temporary bus stop returns to its original position at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital from tomorrow, Tues 3 Jan 2023.

Take on one of our exciting challenges or create your own goal to motivate yourself this #newyear and raise funds for young carers in the county. Check out our challenge page today and get in touch to set your sights on a fantastic year. bit.ly/GYCChallenges2… #2023goals

URGENT | Don’t attend the two A&Es unless it’s a life threatening condition or serious injury. Our staff are under unprecedented pressure. For other services, let ASAP Glos NHS or 111 guide you. @gloshospitals @GlosHealthNHS

NHS leaders in Gloucestershire are urging people to only go to A&E in a life threatening emergency as the departments in Cheltenham and Gloucester are under intense pressure.

Please RT this NYE message NOW for ALL NHS staff and leave them a message. It is tough times for staff. If we can improve it for them, we can make it better too for patients. Please encourage people to follow and support us today. And thank you Vicky McClure for this kindness.

Please celebrate New Year safely to protect yourself and others: pre-book transport home, never drink under the influence of alcohol or drugs, drink in moderation and look out for vulnerable friends and loved ones. 💚 More advice at: ow.ly/Bghg50MfGXc #HelpUsHelpYou

We know going into the New Year and having family/friends still in hospital can be stressful and upsetting. Please remember to respect our staff. They are here to help, support you and look after their patients. #RespectOurStaff

Over time, protection from the COVID-19 vaccines fades and the viruses that cause flu change, which is why many people are being offered another dose. With nearly 350,000 available vaccination appointments next week, if you are eligible, get protected. nhs.uk/wintervaccinat…

We hope you all enjoy yourselves this New Year's Eve! 🎉 Please remember, if you do need to call 999, to treat our people with the kindness and respect they deserve. They are working hard during this extremely busy period to keep you safe. 💚 #HelpUsToHelpYou #WorkWithoutFear
