Milton Keynes University Hospital Urges Public to Use Services Wisely Amid High Demand

Milton Keynes University Hospital is currently experiencing high demand for its services, particularly in the A&E department.

As a result, the hospital is urging residents to use alternative care options for non-urgent health concerns, such as visiting local pharmacies, speaking to their GP, or contacting NHS 111.

The hospital is prioritising patients with serious or life-threatening conditions and requests that the public reserve A&E for emergencies only. The hospital continues to work hard to provide the best care possible but emphasises the need for public cooperation during this challenging time.

The hospital has assured patients that essential services remain open, and staff are doing everything they can to manage the increased demand. However, they remind everyone to use NHS resources wisely to avoid further pressure on already stretched healthcare workers.

Residents are encouraged to think carefully before attending A&E and consider whether alternative services could meet their needs. By doing so, it will help ensure that those who need urgent care receive it as quickly as possible.
