NOT ALWAYS A & E

23/1/2014

 
Don't Go to A&E if it's not a serious emergency, call 111. This is one of six images used by Richmond and Kingston CCG's for the winter health campaign.
This is one of six images that Richmond and Kingston Clinical Commissioning Groups will be using to support their winter health campaign 'Not Always A&E'
Clinical Commissioning Groups across south east and south west London are running an eye-catching winter campaign to dissuade local activity away from A&E when it is more appropriate that their ailments are dealt with by local health services. 

Richmond and Kingston CCGs have joined forces to promote the campaign locally.  Both boroughs are in agreement that people must be encouraged to seek the right medical support for the treatment they require, in many cases this will be achieved by dialling 111 before setting out for A&E. 

The campaign is supported by a website where visitors can find the nearest service to get the treatment they need.

A&E is for serious emergencies only and there are quicker and easier alternative local health services.  People are urged to call 111 before going to A&E.
