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.
