Being Responsive to healthcare needs and providing effective care across the health system, ensuring patients receive quality care in the right place

[Barnsley Hospital @barnshospital]

A&E at Barnsley Hospital has a large number of people waiting to be seen – if your condition is not urgent, please seek an alternative care option. Local services are available here: https://t.co/m6dHSoC8VA

[Barnsley Hospital @barnshospital]

Barnsley's A&E is really busy at the moment. Please only attend if absolutely necessary.

Call 111 first so they can help you decide where is best to seek further care, and advise the best time to go to A&E

Excellent @BarnsleyFallsRW eyesight should never been overlooked. Always get a regular eye check and don’t ignore any changes to vision @NizzSabir

[Rachel Wallace @BarnsleyFalls]

THINK: VISION 👓 ❌

Patients with poor vision are twice as likely to fall❕❕❕❕

Excited to use these new glasses to teach staff the different eye conditions, what it feels like to have a visual impairment, and understand why these patients will be at a higher risk of falling.

Whilst coronavirus is infectious to children it is rarely serious. If your child is unwell it is likely to be a non-coronavirus illness.

NHS 111, GPs and hospitals are still providing safe care they always do. Here are some tips on where and when to seek further support.

[Eye Health Week @myvisionmatters]

During #lockdown A&E depts are reporting increased numbers of people visiting with DIY-related injuries. Keep your eyes safe & reduce pressure on the NHS by wearing safety goggles to minimise the risk of foreign bodies, chemical burns or other serious eye trauma. #COVID19EyeCare

[OphthalmologyBHNFT @OBhnft]

Eye care is important, please take note and stay safe @barnshospital

[Eye Health Week @myvisionmatters]

Due to the current COVID-19 risk, we have regrettably paused Routine Breast Screening Appointments.

In view of the current outbreak it is important to reduce the traffic of patients through the hospital for nonessential services; hence the postponement … https://t.co/vQfqY8FXYU
