If you come to Barnsley's Emergency Department this evening, you will face a long wait if your condition is not urgent. We always prioritise those with the most urgent need. If you're not sure what to do, call NHS 111 for advice.

Another successful day in the #Barnsley vaccine clinics. The next walk-in clinic is this Thursday down at Priory. So many people coming down saying they just want to get back to normal, stop the spread, see family with confidence & go on holiday. Call in Thursday for yours.

New: Vaccine walk-in clinic Saturday 26 June. Anyone aged 25-40, registered with a #Barnsley GP, is invited to Apollo Court, Dodworth for your 1st dose Pfizer vaccine. No appointment needed. Open 10am right through to 2.30pm so avoid longer queues by coming throughout that time.

@JohnGessler1 Me too 😬

@alanthiggins One day I’ll make oven bottom loaves like my gran used to make after baking on the range all day. I could bake every day, but my trousers barely fit as it is.

Getting ready for some bread baking in the new wood fired oven.

@JohnGessler1 Got these out after baking pizza.

@alanthiggins Nice.

Barnsley Hospital's A&E is really busy at the moment. Please only attend if absolutely necessary. Call 111 first so they can help you decide where is best to seek further care, and advise the best time to go to A&E

@KarliethompsEng 😳Congratulations! So pleased for you.

So this week, I turned 40, we climbed Ben Nevis and the man of my dreams - the one I wasn’t meant to meet but fate stepped in - popped the question... At the highest point in the UK... Here’s to many more adventures...

@SiobhanLendz @nhsbarnsleyccg @BHNFTcancer @CA_SYBICS 😊Thank you Siobhan.
