Our hospitals are extremely busy today
University Hospital Lewisham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich are both extremely busy today. We have long waits with lots of people needing care in both of our Emergency Departments.
If you need urgent, but non-emergency care, there are other places where you will be seen quicker. You can check where you can receive treatment before you travel to our hospitals here: https://usetherightservice.com/
Scheduled appointments are still running as normal at both hospitals.
