READING residents are being urged to use other services where possible as the Royal Berkshire Hospital is seeing high levels of demand.

The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust posted to social media just before 4pm on Monday, June 12, announcing that the Accident and Emergency department was experiencing high demands.

It reported that at around 3pm that day, the department had more than 390 patients.

In an effort to ensure that those who required emergency medical treatment would receive it, they are encouraging residents to contact the Urgent Care Centre in Broad Street Mall.

Residents can also consult 111.nhs.uk or call 111 to find out which services are best suited to provide the care you need.

The Urgent Care Centre on the first floor of the Broad Street Mall, Reading, is open from 8am-8pm daily.
