ALTERNATIVES TO ATTENDING TAMESIDE HOSPITAL ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about alternative services to A&E where you are able to receive excellent care more quickly, in a more comfortable setting.

Your alternatives to attending A&E include:

1.  This practice has a walk-in open surgery Monday to Friday between 8.30 and 10.30; you can attend the surgery during these times without an appointment.

2.  Telephone 1-1-1. Calls to the NHS 111 service are free of charge from both landlines and mobiles and they are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

3.  Ashton Primary Care Centre. When the practice is closed you can go to the walk-in service at Ashton where you can see experienced doctors and nurses without an appointment. They will also be able to offer advice, assessment and treatment for minor ailments such as cuts, bruises, minor infections, coughs and colds, strains and skin complaints as well as provide emergency contraception. You do not have to be registered with the Primary Care Centre and they are available between 8am and 8pm 7 days a week.

5.  Your local community Pharmacy. Pharmacies can give advice and treatment. Advice is always free. If you don’t pay for your prescriptions then treatment from them will also be free.

Additional information on all of the services above can be found on the NHS Choice website at www.nhs.uk. This website also provides information on health conditions and their treatment and management.

The accident and emergency department should only be used by people with serious injuries or illness requiring immediate treatment, but we realise people are not always sure where else to go. By using the other services described above next time you need treatment you can make life more comfortable for yourself as well as helping us make sure A&E is there to look after those who need it most.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or concerns.
