Call, go online or use the NHS app

If you are ill or hurt and need help fast, but it is not a 999 emergency:

  • Call 111, open 24/7. Your call will be answered by a highly trained operator who will be able to diagnose your symptoms quickly and easily in the convenience and safety of your own home.
  • Go to 111.NHS.uk
  • Use the NHS app

The online services ask you a series of questions to help identify your symptoms and recommend safe and appropriate action to take.

This could include:

  • arranging for a prescription to be available for collection from a pharmacy
  • booking an appointment at an Urgent Treatment Centre
  • arranging an online consultation with a GP
  • a telephone or video consultation with a clinical professional.
