# 🩺 NCIC Live A&E Monitor
|
|
|
|
This is a Python application that allows you to view live data of the amount of patients in A&E and the latest waiting times, at North Cumbria Integrated Care (NCIC) facilities. The data is scraped from the ncic.nhs.uk waiting times page and displayed in a user-friendly GUI.

|
## Features

|
|
|
- Real-time Data: Displays the latest A&E and UTC waiting times for NCIC hospitals

|
- Auto-refresh: The app automatically refreshes data every 5 minutes with a countdown timer.
|
|
|
|
- Customizable UI: The interface is split into two sections for A&E and UTC departments, with hospital names highlighted for clarity.
