Residents have been asked to their bit
The Wigan NHS trust have asked for the public's help in managing the pressure on its service ahead of the four-day Easter weekend and junior doctor strikes.
The plea was made by Wrightington Hospital and the Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust who say that 'a number of services will be impacted' due to the strikes. Junior Doctors who are members of the British Medical Association are set to strike for a day on Tuesday until Saturday .
“Everyone can help play their part in helping us by accessing services in the most appropriate way. If a condition is not life, limb or sight-threatening, please use NHS 111 online in the first instance or alternative services such as your GP, pharmacy or local urgent treatment centre. Self-care at home is just as important, and we would always advise being well-stocked on over-the-counter medications, especially ahead of bank holidays.
