Our Emergency Department at Royal Preston Hospital is currently really busy which is leading to long waits - we are doing everything we can to see and treat patients as quickly as possible  - please bear with us.

Make sure you use the most appropriate place for your medical need. Your help and support in keeping A&E for accidents and emergencies is really appreciated.

If in doubt, contact NHS 111.
