00:00 This winter, please keep the emergency department less busy by choosing the right service.
00:10 We are currently experiencing a high demand on our emergency services.
00:14 We are doing all we can to help those patients presenting to us with serious illness or life-or-limb
00:20 threatening injuries.
00:21 They need our urgent care the most.
00:25 Many of the patients who are here could have been seen at other NHS services across the
00:29 Wigan borough, resulting in patients waiting longer than expected to be seen.
00:35 You can help us and these patients by choosing the right service before you decide to come
00:40 to A&E.
00:41 If you're unsure, think NHS 111 first.
00:45 They can offer expert advice and make sure you get the right care at the right place
00:50 at the right time.
00:51 Thanks.
