Seasonal workers can be new to the area and may not yet be registered with a local GP.
When a worker becomes unwell, they may be unsure where to get help, and may feel that going to hospital is their only option, even for a less urgent concern. This can place unnecessary pressure on hospital services for health concerns that may be safely managed online.
The HSE recommends contacting a GP for less urgent treatment. Emergency departments should be used for serious injuries and life-threatening emergencies.ie works with farms, factories and other businesses to help their workers access appropriate online GP care when it is suitable for their needs.
Contact us at [email protected] directly or comment ‘GP’, and our team will get in touch.
Please do not post anyone’s symptoms, medical history or other personal information in the comments.
For a serious illness, serious injury or risk to life, call 112 or 999.
