Choose well this Easter and May 7 bank holiday

Choose well this Easter and May 7 bank holiday
28 March 2012

The Choose well campaign helps people to find the best place to go to get advice, treatment and care quickly.

In A&E, staff must give priority to serious and life-threatening conditions, whereas choosing the correct service will mean that you could be seen more quickly.

If you are unsure about which health service is appropriate for your condition, call one local number 0345 605 99 99*. The West Yorkshire Urgent Care Services aim to ensure patients are seen quickly, at the most appropriate time and place for their treatment and care.

Over the bank holiday period not all pharmacies are open. At least one pharmacy is open in each area of Leeds for a few hours each day. Find out more by visiting: www.leeds.nhs.uk/easter-pharmacies.
