🚨NHS Lothian's Emergency Departments are under extreme pressure.
If it is not a critical emergency, you face a very long wait if you come to our Emergency Department. If it's not critical but you think you need to be seen, please call 111 to get to the right place for your care.

[NHS Lothian @NHS_Lothian]

Temperatures are expected to dip down to -6 overnight 🥶🌡️

Please take care when you're out and about. Wintery conditions can lead to busier A&Es due to slips, trips, and falls.

Try walking like a penguin and help keep yourself safe 🐧❤️

If you need urgent care, but it’s not a critical emergency, you should 📞 NHS 24 on 111 before going to A&E. If it’s an emergency, you should still call 999 or go straight to A&E 🚨
