Industrial action by resident doctors is now underway (7–13 April).

NHS services are open but likely to be busy. Please continue to attend your appointments unless you are contacted directly and told otherwise.

• GP practices will continue to be open during industrial action
• NHS services will continue to be available during industrial action, but some services may be busier than usual
• People may have to wait longer to be seen in A&E, where patients will be treated in order of clinical priority
• People should use the right service for their needs and use NHS 111 first for urgent but non-life-threatening medical help
• Pharmacy First offers advice and treatment for a range of common conditions through local pharmacies
• A&E and 999 should only be used for life-threatening emergencies
• Walk-in centres, minor injury units and urgent treatment centres can help with minor health concerns
• People should order repeat prescriptions in good time to avoid delays
• If a friend or family member is ready to leave hospital, collecting them promptly can help free up beds for those who need care
• People with symptoms of norovirus, flu, COVID-19 or other infectious illnesses should avoid visiting healthcare settings unless essential

Thank you for your ongoing support during this busy time.

· During industrial action (7–13 April), help protect NHS services. Use NHS 111 for urgent care and Pharmacy First for common conditions.
