Help us help you
Are you unsure if an emergency department is suitable for your needs? Information on alternative services available in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire can be found on our Help us help you webpage here (opens in new tab).
Sometimes people go to an emergency department when their illness or injury is not a medical or life-threatening emergency.
You will be advised if your illness or injury can be dealt with by another healthcare service locally. You will also be provided with information on how to access the service(s) that are more appropriate for your needs.
This will help us keep the service for the most unwell and severely injured people.
