Due to the strike taking place immediately after Easter long weekend we unfortunately anticipate high demand on our services.
We have booked additional staff in preparation but it is very likely demand will outweigh availability of appointments.

If you are able to, we strongly recommend contacting us online at Accurx.
Online submissions are reviewed and answered by our senior clinical team - it is not AI or automated responses.

If your query is non-urgent and it is safe and appropriate to wait until this period ends, we would appreciate your patience.

We fully recognise this is disappointing for patients and we apologise in advance for the inconvenience.

111, Emergency Departments & 999 services will also be very busy. Please choose wisely when considering contacting a health service throughout this period. If you do need immediate medical attention for an emergency or life-threatening illness, please do seek help despite the strikes.

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The symptoms of ovarian cancer can be vague, and can be linked to other less serious conditions. See your doctor if you have changes that are unusual for you or won't go away. In most cases, it won’t be cancer, but if it is, getting diagnosed early can make all the difference.
