Campaign group EveryDoctor said some medics have reported being unable to get to work because they have not got enough fuel.
Dr Julia Grace Patterson, chief executive of the group which has 1,700 members, said: “Doctors and other healthcare workers cannot care for patients if they cannot get to work.
“I am hearing from many today who have spent the weekend unsuccessfully trying to find petrol.
“Our Health Secretary Sajid Javid has been critical of telephone consultations recently – he clearly believes face-to-face appointments are necessary.
“We therefore need to know urgently what the Government’s plan is to ensure that all NHS staff can reach their workplaces safely during this fuel crisis.
“Doctors are desperately concerned about patients and the Government must take responsibility and find a solution.”
There were long queues at petrol stations across the country this weekend after BP, Esso, Tesco and independent retailers said they are having trouble delivering fuel to their forecourts amid a shortage in HGV drivers.
Some stations are restricting drivers to just £30 of fuel at a time, some chains have seen 90% of their forecourts run dry.
The Government is considering changes to the law and bringing in the Army to ease the problem.
