Urgent but not an emergency? Think UTC! The Urgent Treatment Centre is open 7 days a week, 8.00am - 10.00pm (including bank holidays) to help with those urgent, but not life-threatening health issues. Hear from Farzana, Lead Nurse at the UTC.

We’re on the lookout for a Joint Non-Executive Director to join the Boards of WCHC and WUTH. If you have the leadership experience, strategic mindset, and ambition to improve outcomes for patients and communities, we want to hear from you. Apply today. bit.ly/3DpwCjB

We expect our ongoing major incident to continue over the weekend. People may face longer wait times in A&E. Only attend A&E in an emergency. If it’s not an emergency, help is available by contacting 111. Or visit an urgent treatment centre, walk-in centre, GP, or pharmacy.

We're working hard to rectify the issue after a major incident was declared at the Trust earlier this week following a targeted cyber security issue. Please see our latest statement about our ongoing major incident. See link in comments below⬇️

If you're attending a hospital outpatient appointment this week, please bring your appt letter with you. This is to save you time while we're dealing with our ongoing major incident. If your appt has been cancelled you'll be contacted with a new appt in due course. Thank you
