Stop turning up to A&E with 'stubbed toes' because you can't get a GP appointment, urges paramedic
A North West paramedic is urging people not to call 999 for unnecessary reasons as the emergency service faces huge pressures amid high temperatures. The NHS issued a national warning ahead of the heatwave asking hospitals to take ‘immediate steps’ to reduce ambulance waiting times outside A&E departments to under 30 minutes, amid warnings of ‘high risk to patients’ during the hot weather.
