Medical help not related to coronavirus
It's important not to delay seeking help with non-coronavirus health concerns.
If you need emergency medical treatment, you should still call 999 or go straight to the Emergency Department at the General Hospital.
For all other concerns, you should telephone your usual GP surgery to make an appointment. Appointments are available via telephone, video, face-to-face, and at home, depending on your need.
