00:00 We are currently facing exceptionally high levels of demand on our service and unprecedented
00:09 attendances to our emergency department here at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan.
00:15 The safety of our patients and staff is as always our top priority and we are working
00:20 through those who need our help as quickly and as safely as we can, prioritising those
00:25 who need us most.
00:27 Please remember A&E is for serious and life and limb threatening conditions only.
00:32 Consider other services like NHS 111, your GP or pharmacy or the urgent treatment centre
00:39 at Lee Infirmary is there if you have an urgent but non-life threatening condition.
00:44 We need everyone's help to ease the pressures on our services, especially during the winter
00:49 months.
