Thank you Local Life - there's still time to fight to keep care in the community #handsaroundtheedington #communitymatters #edingtoncottagehospital

The last place you want to visit when you're on holiday is hospital but accidents happen and the Edington has always been there all of us. #minorinjuries #communitymatters #handsaroundtheedington

[Hands Around The Edington @SaveTheEdington]

When it opened in 1913, the Edington was called the Edington Convalescent Home but it became a place where mothers could go for a few days' respite and was known locally as ‘The Home For Tired Mothers’. Any tired mothers out there? #handsaroundtheedington

[Hands Around The Edington @SaveTheEdington]

All credit to the nurses at the Edington who skillfully tended to injuries and reassured panic-stricken relatives over the years. Please keep sharing your experiences on our hearts so we can show just how great a loss the closure is to our community #handsaroundtheedington

The Hands Around the Edington campaign is being led by a commissioning group comprising Friends of the Edington, @NorthBerwickCC and North Berwick Health & Wellbeing Association. Donations to help fund the campaign are being gratefully received: https://t.co/z5AKNR3DbX

The Edington closed 10 weeks ago with patients & staff moved to East Lothian Community Hospital in Haddington. In 3 weeks a decision will be made on whether it will reopen or not. If you want to see services reinstated at the Edington, sign the petition

In the last 3 months, who has had to travel to the RIE or Sick Kids for treatment or to Haddington to see a loved one in care? This closure takes care out of the community to the detriment of service users and their families. Time to write to NHS Lothian #handsaroundtheedington

[Hands Around The Edington @SaveTheEdington]

Please keep opening your hearts with stories of how the Edington has helped you or a loved one; share them with us or in a window to show you care. Let this not be 'out of sight out of mind'. Here is Eddie's story of a trauma that could have been avoided #handsaroundtheedington

[Hands Around The Edington @SaveTheEdington]

There is no Minor Injuries Unit in East Lothian. NHS Lothian is asking people not attend A&E unless it is life-threatening. Keep care in the community, support our campaign by writing to NHS Lothian Chief Executive Calum Campbell and Chair John Connaghan #handsaroundtheedington
