We have put on extra services over the New Year’s bank holiday weekend if you need urgent medical help.

This is to help local hospitals and the ambulance service as they are extremely busy at the moment.

Please only call 999 if it is a life-threatening emergency.

You can also use your local pharmacy for non-urgent health advice.

How to access extra bank holiday services

Please contact your GP between 8am to 8pm where you will speak to a clinician and offered an appointment if you need one. This may be a telephone, video or face to face appointment.

Outside of these hours please call 111.

Please only call 999 if it is a life-threatening emergency.

You can also use your local pharmacy for non-urgent health advice.
