If you feel unwell seek medical care early, don’t leave it until you feel really sick. GPs are offering consultations over the phone and pharmacies are still open. If you experience flu like symptoms it’s important to get these assessed, even if you haven’t had any contact with other sick people.

If you think it’s an emergency and you need our help, don’t be worried about calling 111. We’ll work with you to ensure the best care, in the best way, and will take every precaution to ensure to you stay safe from viruses such as COVID-19 and flu.
