“Just a thought 🤔 How about sitting out the front of your house with your cuppa or your vino later in the day, with your book or your embroidery(!) & chat to your neighbours who are walking by.

If you have a child who plays sports you will know the wait can be a while as new patients continue to come in and the doctors and nurses work hard to keep up with the waiting list. What if you could avoid this waiting time? There is a solution and it is WiSE Emergency Clinic.
