Industrial Action Posted or Updated on 13 Mar 2025

NHS services across the North East & Yorkshire region are experiencing extremely high demand at the moment – this includes GP practices, which are extremely busy

If you need advice for a minor/mild illness or injury, in the first instance, please look at the self-care advice that’s available on-line from the NHS at www.nhs.uk or contact your local pharmacy

Please watch the following online video to help you choose the most appropriate service for your needs:

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

The 111 online service is effective and efficient and endorsed by your GP.  You will be dealt with more quickly using 111 online than calling 111.  Go to www.111.nhs.uk

Please reassure patients that they should attend their general practice appointments on industrial actions dates unless contacted and told otherwise.
