Health services across Walsall and the wider Black Country have continued to manage increased demand throughout February, as seasonal pressures remain in place.

Hospitals, GP services and urgent care providers have reported higher levels of activity, linked to winter illnesses and ongoing healthcare needs.

To help manage demand, residents are being encouraged to use appropriate services, including NHS 111, pharmacies and GP appointments, where suitable.

Health providers have implemented additional measures to maintain service delivery, ensuring that urgent and emergency care remains available for those who need it most.

Managing demand during the winter period remains a key focus for local health services, with continued efforts to support patients and maintain safe levels of care.
