Our Minor Injuries Unit has reduced staffing today (Thursday 20 February). This means you may have longer to wait than usual or we might ask you to visit another healthcare setting instead. We apologise for any inconvenience. Normal service will resume tomorrow.

A message to young people who have just broken up from school. School is tiring, and you have been working hard, so use this time to relax and recharge your batteries. Take time to do the things you enjoy, or find new hobbies. You deserve this.

Systems are now back online, however there still may be some delays as services recover, particularly with GPs needing to rebook appointments. It's important that people attend appointments as normal unless told otherwise.
The NHS is aware of a global IT outage and an issue with a GP appointment and patient record system. If you have an appointment please do attend unless you are told otherwise. If you need help use 111 online or by phone and in an emergency call 999. ➡️111.nhs.uk

Following the extensive coverage of the IT outage affecting Microsoft systems worldwide, we want to reassure you that QVH services are not affected so if you are due to attend an appointment please continue to do so. Our Minor Injuries Unit is open 8-8 as usual.

We're currently experiencing a technical issue with our telephone system meaning we cannot receive or make calls. The engineers are working on it right now and we hope to have normal service resumed shortly. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Almost two thirds of people don’t know that you can self-refer to NHS Talking Therapies online to access treatment for anxiety and depression. You can refer yourself or talk to your GP: nhs.uk/talk. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

If you're at QVH today, do stop by Building 3 (main outpatients) and say hi to our lovely Tobacco Dependency Advisor, Fran, who is running an information stand for #NoSmokingDay2024 She can give help and advice and has some nice freebies to help you on your journey to quit!

If you're travelling to QVH this morning and coming via Blackwell Hollow/Blackwell Road please allow extra time as a water main has burst. Traffic can get to us but people are driving slowly. QVH is still open and running as normal but do take care when travelling.
