PATIENTS are being asked to stay away from Withybush Hospital Accident and Emergency if possible, as the department is under intense pressure.
Hywel Dda University Health Board has asked members of the public to seek alternative care if they can.
Withybush’s A&E department is currently dealing with especially high volumes of unwell patients.
More information about alternative care can be found at the NHS Wales’ website’s Choose Well campaign page.
In a Facebook post Hywel Dda said: “Please support us by making full use of alternative community services such as your Community Pharmacist or by self care at home when appropriate, ensuring that the GP Out of Hours service and A&E are used for urgent care only.”
