Resident doctors are on strike.

If you need medical help, continue to use NHS 111 and in emergencies, 999.

We recommend using NHS 111 in the first instance. If you need help in British Sign Language (BSL) an NHS 111 SignVideo service is available. If you have a hearing problem, use text relay. Call 18001 111 using the Relay UK App or a text phone.

If you’ve had blood in your poo or bleeding from your bottom, a change in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss or a pain or lump in your tummy, and these symptoms last three weeks or more, it’s time to get them checked out.
