This week’s #PictureOfTheWeek is a very festive one from Emergency Care Assistant, Rhyanon, who while out on shift captured one of our ambulances surrounded by beautiful Christmas lights in #Sidmouth. ✨

Not every injury needs A&E. If you’ve had a slip, trip, or minor accident, your local #MinorInjuryUnit or #UrgentTreatmentCentre can help. ✔ No appointment needed ✔ Often shorter waiting times ✔ Expert care close to home 👉 Find your nearest location: https://t.co/o6U4lM4TFU
