⛈️Storm Goretti update – 10pm, Thursday 8 January
🙏We hope everyone across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is staying safe and well during Storm Goretti.
We are continuing to monitor the situation overnight and into tomorrow, working with partners to understand any impacts on NHS services, including power, travel and access to sites.
We are sharing official advice from Cornwall Council and those impacted by power cuts can follow National Grid Customers UK for updates.
💙We understand some people may be feeling worried or anxious. Talking about the way you feel is the first step towards easing concerns. Reach out to family, friends, and people who provide social support: https://www.cornwallft.nhs.uk/mental-health-crisis-cornwall
‼️🩺Please be assured our urgent healthcare services are here to help. If you need medical support this evening, visit 111 online or call 111. In an emergency, always call 999.
Road disruption is likely in many places due to debris, fallen trees and surface flooding. Please follow official travel advice, take extra care and avoid unnecessary journeys where possible.
If you have an NHS appointment tomorrow
✅You will be contacted directly if your appointment needs to be cancelled or rearranged. Please help keep phone lines free and do not contact services unless advised to do so.
✅If you feel it is unsafe for you to attend, please contact the service in the usual way to cancel or rearrange.
If you need care
The NHS is still here for you:
✅GP practices and pharmacies – some locations may be impacted. Please check before travelling.
✅NHS 111 – use 111 online or call 111 for urgent health advice.
🚨999 – always call in a life- or limb-threatening emergency.
Please note: some services may be operating reduced hours or alternative arrangements - we will publish updates as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your continued patience and support, particularly if you need to use NHS services during this time.
🙏Please take care and stay safe.
