Choosing the right care, first time

GPs are on your side

Primary Care Joint action

All practices in Herefordshire have agreed to participate in joint action with the British Medical Association.

This is NOT about pay but about General Practice receiving the amount of funding needed to employ enough doctors, nurses and other staff to provide sufficient appointments and for our staff to work safely.

This joint action across the country is aiming for the government to look at General Practice and reconsider the amount of funding it receives.

This is not industrial action, we are not on strike.

The BMA recommend safe working for General Practice to be 25 patient contacts per day per clinician and once at capacity to divert patients to local urgent care.
We are working very hard to ensure as little disruption to our normal service as possible but on occasion we may reach full capacity and patients will be asked to call 111.

The decision to take action has not been taken lightly.

All practices in Herefordshire met last week and discussed options at length.
Sick children, vulnerable or palliative patients will not be turned away as patient safety is still our priority.

In the meantime please continue to use our services as normal and rest assured that patient care is still our priority.

We thank you for your understanding, we are hopeful that the issues can be resolved quickly.
For more information on why this action is important, please see the short video above.

Ledbury Health Partnership is covered by an out of hours service between the hours of 6:30pm and 8am, and at weekends. If you need urgent healthcare advice or treatment during these hours please telephone NHS 111, or access 111 online, who will direct you to the most appropriate service. Please use the online option in the first instance whenever possible.

111 is the NHS non-emergency number. It’s fast, easy and free. Call 111 and speak to a highly trained adviser, supported by healthcare professionals. They will ask you a series of questions to assess your symptoms and immediately direct you to the best medical care for you.

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

In case of a life-threatening emergency, please dial 999.

Online Services

You can use the NHS App to check your symptoms and get instant advice, book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, view your GP medical record and more.
