New Year's Eve is usually one of the busiest nights of the year across the NHS, especially in urgent and emergency care, which is already facing significant demand.
While many are out celebrating, lots of our NHS staff are working and looking after people tonight.
Health minister Andrew Stephenson met MFT Chief Executive @MCubbonNHS and Trafford Elective Care Hub staff today and heard how they are ensuring patients receive their planned procedures as quickly as possible.
Today services across the NHS will be disrupted by strike action. I saw how the team at @TraffordHosp were preparing and prioritising care for those who need it the most.
Over the next few days if you need medical help, use 111 online or 999 in an emergency.
We have been continuing to evaluate the COVID 19 Urgent Eyecare Service (CUES) to understand any false negatives; patients who attended CUES and not referred to the emergency eye department, but then accessed emergency hospital care with in next 28 days. Results are reassuring.
