When to call 111

Not sure if you should call 111? 🤔

We can help you get the right care, in the right place.

☎️ Call 111 when:

• You feel unwell and need urgent advice, but it’s NOT life-threatening

• You think you might need A&E, but it isn’t an emergency

• You need help and your GP, pharmacy or dentist is closed

• You’re experiencing mental health distress and need support

When you call, a trained team will assess your symptoms and make sure you get the right help. That could be advice, a call from another clinician, or being directed to a local service.

REMEMBER:

🚨 Always call 999 or go to A&E for life-threatening emergencies.
