Health Services

When you have a healthcare need, it’s important to go to the right place.

Only call 999 in an emergency (this means if someone is very ill, injured or their life is at risk).

If you feel ill and are not sure where to go, call NHS 111. If you need help quickly but it’s not an emergency, go to a walk-in centre.
