HSE services are asking people to consider all care options
The HSE's latest Instagram post provides a comprehensive breakdown of the swiftest treatment options, custom-tailored to address specific illness types during this much-awaited bank holiday.When there is a large volume of ED attendances, patients are prioritised in terms of clinical need and wait times for non-urgent care can be lengthy.
“Patient safety is at the forefront of everything the HSE does. People across counties Carlow, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford can help HSE staff at a busy time such as this August Bank Holiday Weekend by remembering when care is needed, to consider all the options for non-emergency care - such as Injury Units, Out of Hours GP and pharmacies before attending an ED.”
“For information on when you should go to the ED visit The emergency department page. You can get advice on a number of illnesses that can be treated at home. The HSE’s My child website also has lots of information on children’s illnesses. “Our partners in Caredoc out of hours GP co-operative are open 24 hours on Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Caredoc can be contacted on 0818 300 365 or 059 913 8100. See caredoc.ie."
