Access to NHS Services

However, please remember that essential NHS services are still available for people who need them. No one should put off contacting their GP practice or dentist if they are concerned about their general health or have a worrying symptom which needs checking out. Hertfordshire’s GP practices have put in place telephone and video appointments, and when necessary, face-to-face appointments can be available with a GP or nurse in a setting that is safe for both patients and staff.

If you have Covid-19 symptoms

Please remember: If you are concerned that you might have COVID-19 symptoms do not go to your GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital go to the 111.NHS website to check out the symptoms and get advice and information about what to do next.
