If you have an urgent but not-life-threatening medical need, make sure you visit 111.nhs.uk online first rather than going straight to A&E. NHS 111 online will help you right away and, if needed, a healthcare professional will call you. #HelpUsHelpYou

Only attend A&E if it’s an emergency. Please contact 111.nhs.uk if you are feeling unwell and they will be able to direct you to the best care. Please share this with friends & family as widely as possible. #Think111First

We know that outside things are changing but we're required by Public Health England to ensure everyone continues to wear a face covering while on our hospital sites at #Watford #Hemel and #StAlbans. Our staff are wearing masks to protect you. Please help us keep everyone safe.

Great campaign Cheryl! Get involved everyone! 😁
Chezza’s ‘Football Focus’ PPE campaign kicks off earlier on 7th June to give you a chance to win a Blue NHS card if you’re seen wearing correct PPE you get a point for your ward the ward with the most points wins a prize including WFC tickets and a Sainsbury’s voucher @davem2612

I look forward to meeting the stroke unit team again @Chezza_999 @sepsismaggie There are many supporters who have been brilliantly helped by them. Recently one of my team mates was also in their excellent care. Stroke awareness is vital. Thank you for all you do 💙
Today I had the most ultimate pleasure to audit Stroke Ward, their compliance with patient cleanliness and PPE was absolutely off the scale 100% gold standard from ALL staff @GlynisBenett @CEOAllenC @CarterTreacle @Pope2Emma @AngelaWhite206 @WestHertsNHS @karen_bowler

I was completely privileged to see such wonderful sincere love and kindness shown to a distressed elderly gentleman by A/P Jenny on AAU3 Yellow. Her genuine love soothed his fears and had me wiping tears away @WestHertsNHS @CarterTreacle @CEOAllenC @GlynisBenett @AngelaWhite206
