They've asked the public to use services wisely
NHS bosses across Nottinghamshire have asked the public to help ahead of the New Year's weekend as the healthcare system continues to face sustained pressures. Both Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - which runs the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital - and Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs King’s Mill, Newark and Mansfield Community Hospital, declared an internal 'critical incident' on Thursday .
“There are things everyone can do to help, and we are asking people to use our services wisely and to think about self-care as an option for some conditions, such as coughs and colds, before automatically going to the NHS for help. If self-care isn’t an option, then choosing the right service will help patients to get the right treatment first time and usually more quickly – 111 online is a great resource to help with that.
The NHS App is available to access for a wide range of services and information, such as accessing medical records, booking and managing appointments, reviewing medication and ordering prescriptions as well as checking symptoms. Members of the public can also help ease pressures by using their local pharmacy.
