If you come to Barnsley's Emergency Department this evening, you will face a long wait if your condition is not urgent. We always prioritise those with the most urgent need. If you're not sure what to do, call NHS 111 for advice.

In July, we are supporting @ProstateUK: 'Thousands of men are missing out on potentially life-saving conversations with their GPs – we need everyone to share our thirty-second risk checker to find these missing men and help them get an early diagnosis.' https://t.co/BEbml6jHwn

[Your Health and Care Barnsley @HealthCareBNSLY]

Another successful day in the #Barnsley vaccine clinics. The next walk-in clinic is this Thursday down at Priory. So many people coming down saying they just want to get back to normal, stop the spread, see family with confidence & go on holiday. Call in Thursday for yours.

[Your Health and Care Barnsley @HealthCareBNSLY]

New: Vaccine walk-in clinic Saturday 26 June. Anyone aged 25-40, registered with a #Barnsley GP, is invited to Apollo Court, Dodworth for your 1st dose Pfizer vaccine. No appointment needed. Open 10am right through to 2.30pm so avoid longer queues by coming throughout that time.

@JohnGessler1 Me too 😬

Barnsley Hospital'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
