Save Emergency Departments for Emergencies
Each year during Winter the number of people seeking medical attention at NSW hospital emergency departments increases significantly.
The television commercial shows a day in the life of a working NSW emergency department, offering an insight into a range of critical, life threatening emergencies attended to each day.
The commercial aims to remind the community that minor illnesses like coughs and colds can be treated by a General Practitioner (GP).
