If you need urgent medical help during the resident doctors strike
The NHS are urging people to come forward for help from the NHS for urgent and life-threatening problems during the five-day strike by resident doctors.
The resident doctor strike began today at 7am and will run until 7am Monday 22nd December.
NHS England said it was "really important that patients who need urgent medical care care continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and serious life-threatening cases". Patients should also attend planned appointments if they have not been contacted already about the need to reschedule.
Here is a NHSE Q&A about how the health service will manage the strikes.
