Use the correct health care service for my needs

Call NHS 111 if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation. You can also call NHS 111 if you're not sure which NHS service you need. |

|
Call 999 if someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk. |

|
Visit a walk-in centre, minor injuries unit or urgent care centre if you have a minor illness or injury (cuts, sprains or rashes) and it can't wait until your GP surgery is open. |
|
|
Ask your local pharmacist for advice – your pharmacist can give you advice for many common minor illnesses, such as diarrhoea, minor infections, headache, travel advice or sore throats. |

Make an appointment with your GP if you are feeling unwell and it is not an emergency |
