Torbay Hospital has issued a desperate plea after its emergency department becomes inundated with sick patients needing urgent care.
The hospital is urging people to only visit its emergency department if they are suffering a life-threatening condition.
“We appreciate that there are challenges across the whole of the system with GPs’ and the 111 system becoming somewhat overwhelmed but we would urge you, if you can, to go on line and use the NHS 111 app or online services to try and see if there is an alternative way of getting the help that you may need.”
As a doctor founded, patient-focused company, Doctor Care Anywhere plc (ASX:DOC) believe that happy doctors mean happy patients. It’s a virtuous circle and one that we’ve built a great team to help keep going.
