Our A&E department is under significant pressure & we need to concentrate on caring for people with serious and life-threatening illnesses. If it’s not urgent call 111 & we’ll get you to the best service for your needs. Don’t turn up with a minor injury without calling 111 first.
Look out for something special at Royal Cornwall Hospital - 8pm tonight. If you're working at the hospital and can come outside for this brilliant salute - please do. Don't forget social distancing!
