As winter continues, it’s important to know where to go if you or a family member needs urgent help. Winter pressures and seasonal illness continue to place high demand on Sussex NHS services. Choosing the right service can help you get support more quickly  and helps A&E teams focus on the most serious and life-threatening emergencies.

If you need urgent care for something that is not life-threatening, you may be seen faster at an Urgent Treatment Centre, walk-in centre or Minor Injury Unit. These services can assess and treat many common problems people often attend A&E for, including sprains, suspected minor fractures, cuts and bruises, skin infections and rashes, high temperatures, and stomach upsets needing same-day care.
