Health leaders across Rugby and Warwickshire are urging people to use health services wisely as A&E departments across the region continue to experience extremely high numbers of attendees.

University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire is continuing to see large numbers of people, putting significant pressure on the local health system in meeting this demand.






Health leaders say if people feel they do need help then it’s important that they make the most appropriate use of NHS services, including GP services and local Pharmacists.

Hospital staff are continuing to do all they can to ensure that everyone going into hospital who needs help gets the care they need but are urging people to help them by only attending if they really need to.
