If a life is in danger you should dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.

For all other health issues you either need to see a Doctor or, if the issue is serious but not life-threatening, go to the Accident and Emergency Department of your local hospital.

You can also contact Doctors on Call for out of hours advice and information. There are also Minor Injury Units open seven days a week from 8am to 10pm for free NHS care.
