We would like to thank everyone who has accessed NHS services wisely today to enable us to focus on responding to patients who need us most during this period of Industrial Action. Strikes continue until 05.59 tomorrow.

We are always here for our patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We wish everyone across the region good health this winter, but if you are poorly then consider if your pharmacist, GP, NHS 111 or local urgent treatment centre could help before dialling 999.

So delighted that Rutland’s Barbara Crellin has been awarded an #MBE today by HRH The #Princess Royal. Richly deserved Barabara has done much for #swimming, #rugby, #sport #education and #well-being in #Rutland.

Thank you to our PPG for arranging tonight’s open meeting and thank you to our patients for attending. There were some really good questions and we look forward to working on our communication with patients.

🕐 We’re here round the clock if you need us this weekend. Whatever you’re going through, you're not alone. We can face it with you 📱116 123

If you need someone to talk to, we listen. We won't judge or tell you what to do 💚
