Patients have been urged to avoid attending accident and emergency departments at Liverpool’s hospitals as they battle “significant demand.”
In a video released on social media, Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust (LUHFT) urged people across the city to use other forms of healthcare where possible should they fall ill. In the short message, consultant Nina Maryanji said the services across the city were feeling the strain.
She said: “Our A&E departments at both of our sites, Aintree University Hospital and the Royal Liverpool Hospital, are experiencing significant demand at this current time so I would strongly urge you to use other forms of healthcare if at all possible.”
