Hi everyone.
If you live in Essex ior planning a trip to one of its many attractions this summer here's some stuff you need know about in case any of your offspring injure themsleves or get ill.
25% people using the A&E at Colchester Hospital could have been treated more quickly elsewhere in a Walk in Centre(Colchester) or Minor Injuries Unit (Harwich and Clacton. You don't need an appointment and you can usually get seen much quicker than at A&E. Anything life threatening or emergency, A&E's still the place to go though.
NHS North East Essex are running a campaign to let everyone know what can be treated where and with all the info about opening times so take a look at their website. www.choosetherightroute.co.uk
