Great Western Hospital
A SWINDON hospital is asking patients to consider other methods of treatment before visiting as it is at capacity.
Great Western have said its emergency department and urgent care centre are extremely busy and people are facing long waits.
A spokesmen said: “It may be better for patients to call 111 to be directed to the most appropriate form of care. Patients who are very serious should not hesitate to visit the emergency department.”
