NHS 111 service

If you need urgent medical advice, but it's not a life threatening emergency, dial 111, or use the NHS App or NHS111 Online.  NHS 111 is a fast and easy way to get the right help, day or night.

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

The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses and paramedics.  They will ask you questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you, straight away, to the local service that can help you best.  That could be A&E, an out of hours doctor, an urgent care centre, or a walk-in centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist or a late-opening chemist.

ALWAYS dial 999 and ask for an ambulance in a life threatening or limb threatening emergency.  Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
