Dr Forbes Watson, Chair of the Alliance ‘These figures are a reminder that despite the ongoing pressures in the wider health and care system, general practice is still there for people’. Well done Dorset.!

The NHS is asking patients to choose services wisely during strikes & take steps to help ensure care is available to patients who need it most. This includes using 111 online as the first port of call for health needs & continuing to only use 999 if's a life-threatening emergency

Hope everyone spends some time today acknowledging & celebrating NHS 75!
