Patients with a cold, or seeking a check-up before a holiday, have been seen at Jersey's Emergency Department in the past year.
They are among the minor and non-essential cases that have attended A&E.
Around 4,000 patients who have gone to the hospital in the past six months should have gone to a GP or pharmacist instead.
Around 600 didn't need any treatment at all.
New signage has been put up asking people if their problem is serious enough for the Emergency Department.
Dr Masha Finn, Clinical Lead and a consultant in emergency medicine, says patients should only go to A&E in a genuine emergency:
“We just want to make sure the public are accessing the right services. Last year we had lots of people attending the Emergency Department for non-essential reasons. We treated the most minor issues ranging from a cold to patients stopping by the Emergency Department to get a check-up before they go on holidays.”
For any non-life threatening or serious cases the public is asked to consider alternative services such as the pharmacy, GP or out-of-hours GP service.
