We want to help you get the care you need during this period of industrial action. If you’re feeling unwell, please use NHS 111 online to be directed to the most appropriate service and only visit our emergency department if your medical need is life-threatening. Urgent treatment centres, pharmacies, your GP or minor injury units will often be able to help offer advice and treatment for less urgent medical issues.
