    Patients with minor illnesses are being asked to consider if they need to attend hospital after a rise in admissions.

    Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said attendances at its A&E department in recent weeks had been similar to numbers expected in November.

    They're asking people to only visit A&E "if their illness or injury is life or limb threatening or if it needs immediate treatment" and call 111 if they need advice on less serious conditions.

    If you have an illness which isn't acute and which doesn't need looking at immediately, then our accident and emergency department isn't the right place for you to be. We will treat anyone who needs us, but we treat patients in order of clinical need, so those with more minor ailments can be waiting a very long time."
