NHS services across the North East & North Cumbria Region 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 a minor/mild illness or injury, in the first instance, please either contact your local pharmacy for help or look at the self-care advice that’s available on-line 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 consulted by someone.
