Please note: Out of hours, our Press Office team operates an on-call system for very urgent enquiries relating to major events or incidents. Please call the number above for details of the on-call press officer.
All routine enquiries will only be dealt with during normal office hours; they can be emailed during evenings, weekends and bank holidays to yas.pressoffice@nhs.net to be picked up on the next working day.
Incident information which we can provide
During office hours, we are able to supply information about public incidents if you can provide the following details:
- Nature of incident (eg road traffic collision)
- Date and time of incident
- Location of incident
Please bear in mind that we are bound by strict patient confidentiality rules and we therefore cannot provide the following information:
- Patient names
- Details relating to a patient treated at a private address
- Condition checks for patients admitted to hospital
Please note that incidents involving fatalities can only be confirmed by police.
