We are currently experiencing high levels of demand in A&E at both the Alexandra and Worcestershire Royal Hospitals and some patients are having to wait several hours for treatment. 

Please consider whether you need to be treated in A&E. 

Visit Is A&E for me? for more information. 

Flu causes a sudden high temperature, headache and general aches and pains, tiredness and a sore throat. You can also lose your appetite, feel nauseous and have a cough.

Please do not attend A&E or visit family and friends in hospital if you are unwell with flu-like symptoms.

You should always contact 111 or your GP in the first instance to be advised further.
