Important: Our hospitals are very busy today

Waiting times in A&E are much longer than usual. If you need urgent care for a condition that is not life-threatening, call NHS 24 on 111. They will direct you to the most appropriate care. This might be a pharmacy, a phone or virtual appointment, a minor injuries unit or accident and emergency at one of our hospitals.

Know Who To Turn To

Get the treatment you need - it can sometimes be hard to know what to do if you're unwell:

For help from a GP – use your GP surgery's website, use an online service or app, or call the surgery.
For urgent medical help – use the NHS 111 online service, or call 111 if you're unable to get help online.
For life-threatening emergencies – call 999 for an ambulance.

If you're advised to go to hospital, it's important to go.
