Patient update

NHS services across the North West are experiencing extremely high demand at the moment – this includes GP practices and the 111 service which are both extremely busy.

If you need advice for an every-day illness or injury, please either contact your local pharmacy for help or look at the self care advice that’s available online from the NHS at www.nhs.uk.

If you want to check your symptoms, there is an on-line symptom checker available at 111.nhs.uk, which will re-direct you to a health professional if you need to be seen by someone.

If you have persistent symptoms that are not getting better, contact your practice for advice.
