The rain can’t dampen our spirits today. There was top teamwork in action last night as our new A&E Department at HRI was opened to the public. Please use your new department wisely – if you’re in doubt check with NHS111 online https://t.co/DXuj7B1p9X

Our A&E departments are very busy. Please think about whether A&E is the right place for your care before coming to our hospitals. NHS 111 online or your GP practice can advise if it is not an emergency. Your local pharmacy can help with minor ailments. https://t.co/DXuj7B1p9X

What a great day! 100’s of my @CHFTNHS colleagues have been to see our amazing new department. So much excitement, great feedback and enthusiasm from staff across our organisation! 🤩 @EDCHFT1
Our wonderful A&E Receptionists, Lynn and Samantha, had a look round their soon-to-be new workplace earlier. They’re just two of the friendly faces you’ll see working in the new A&E at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary when it opens.

Our hospitals are under significant pressure due to the junior doctors’ industrial action this week. If you attend A&E with a non-urgent condition, you will be waiting significantly longer than usual. https://t.co/QiR2hgK2aC

The #juniordoctorsstrike means that there are fewer doctors working in our emergency departments.This is impacting on how quickly people can be seen. If you come to Accident and Emergency and your condition is not life-threatening, you will have a long wait.
