We will contact you in advance if your appointment needs to be rescheduled. If you have not heard from us, please come to your appointment as planned – you do not need to contact us.
Emergency care and other critical services will be open as usual and people should always call 999 or attend A&E in the event of a life or limb threatening emergency. Please do not hesitate to come forward to access care if you need it.
We’re urging people to make NHS 111 Online their first port of call if they need urgent health advice on days of strike action.
NHS 111 Online can tell you:
- Where to get help for your symptoms
- How to find general health information and advice
- Where to get an emergency supply of your prescribed medicine
- How to get a repeat prescription.
