With the June Bank Holiday weekend approaching, HSE services across the South East are asking people to consider all care options before presenting at Emergency Departments (EDs).
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.
Niamh Lacey (Hospital Manager, St. Luke’s General Hospital Carlow/Kilkenny) and HSE colleague healthcare staff across hospital and community settings in the region will continue to work together right through the Bank Holiday Weekend to ensure that patients receive the care they need.
People in Kilkenny can help HSE staff at this busy time by considering other options for non-emergency care such as Injury Units, Out of Hours GP (Caredoc) and pharmacies before attending an ED.
· Caredoc’s opening hours are 24 hours on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Monday and can be contacted on (0818) 300 365 or (059) 913 8100, see www.Caredoc.ie
For information on when you should go to the ED visit https://www2.hse.ie/ emergencies/the-emergency- department-ed/ or you can get advice on a number of illnesses that can be treated at home at https://www2.hse.ie/ conditions/common-illnesses/.
