Good luck to everyone getting their A-level results today.

UCAS clearing is a great opportunity to re-think your options. If you’re having second thoughts after results day, a healthcare degree could open up a new world of possibilities.

If you're not feeling well, don't put your life in the hands of a rock n roll band (who'll throw it all away)... call 111 for advice or 999 in an emergency

For those of us going nowhere, it's best to avoid Wembley.

D'you know what I mean?

London North West Health Care Trust @lnwh.bsky.social · Jul 25

Don't look back in anger if you're seeing #Oasis at Wembley tonight.

Make sure you eat today, and go easy on the champagne supernova.

Stay hydrated, have a masterplan if you get lost and lonely, and be ready for whatever weather: it may not sunshiiiine, but don't get caught in a cloudburst.

If it’s not an emergency, expect longer than usual waits. Stay away so we can care for the people who really need us - you’ll be seen quicker elsewhere.

Call 111 for help with minor ailments and injuries, in a life threatening emergency, always call 999.
