Hospitals across Bristol facing high levels of demand after festive break
NHS staff are urging people across Bristol to use the right NHS service for their needs following high levels of demand for local urgent and emergency care services.
Health and care services in the area are experiencing significant pressures following the Christmas and New Year period which are expected to continue over the weekend.
NHS services are working with local authorities to manage the demand and ensure patients continue to receive safe and effective care.
Local health leaders are also urging people to do their bit to help reduce pressure on services by ensuring they use the most appropriate NHS service for their needs and help loved ones in hospital to return home as soon as they are fit for discharge.
Local GP practices, minor injuries units, pharmacies and NHS 111 are all open and available to help with non-emergency conditions.
Local GP and CCG Clinical Lead for Primary Care, Dr Martin Jones said: “Over the festive season our healthcare system has been incredibly busy, with a particularly high number of attendances and admissions into our A&E departments.

Urinary tract infection device could reduce need for precautionary antibiotics
Urinary tract infection device could reduce need for precautionary antibiotics
University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) researchers are supporting clinicians at the North Bristol NHS Trust to develop a device that can diagnose urinary tract infections (UTI) in a matter of minutes. Current diagnostic testing takes a few days and the new device could avoid instances when doctors prescribe antibiotics as a precautionary measure while waiting for test results. The project is funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).
Professor Richard Luxton, who is co-Founder and Director of the Institute of Bio-sensing Technology at UWE Bristol said:
"As well as speeding up the diagnostic process, this device is aimed at minimizing inappropriate prescription of antibiotics and hence supporting the aim of reducing antimicrobial resistance."Currently it can take up to three days to get a result for a urine sample sent to a microbiology laboratory. If the patient has ongoing symptoms, the GP will sometimes prescribe antibiotics before the result is back. This could be harmful to the patient, and also to the community at large."
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned of the risks of antimicrobial resistance, which is when bacteria build up a resistance to antibiotics. This is caused by over-prescribing antibiotics, resulting in standard treatments becoming ineffective and infections persisting.
