Make sure you Choose well

The number of people attending A&E is growing yearly in Cambridgeshire.
Last year over 130,000 people attended A&E, at an average cost of £125 per visit. Over a third of these people left without having any treatment or needing follow-up treatment.
By choosing an alternative to A&E for minor injuries or illnesses you will allow A&E staff to look after people with serious or life-threatening conditions.
You can get convenient, expert, confidential advice and treatment for a wide range of common complaints from your high street pharmacy without having to wait for a GP appointment, or go to A&E.
Make sure you are prepared in case of illness, A range of common illnesses and injuries can be treated at home simply by combining a well-stocked medicine cabinet with plenty of rest.
If you become unwell or are injured make sure you choose the right NHS service so that you get the best treatment.
