Think carefully before going to Accident and Emergency for minor injuries and illnesses - that's the reminder issued by the Department of Health and Social Security today.
The Manx Emergency Doctors' Service (MEDS) is also situated at Noble's Hospital and operates overnight to provide urgent appointments with a GP.

The MEDS helpline is 650355.
