Our emergency departments are currently extremely busy, and you may face a long wait to be seen. More information is available on alternative services.
If you need other medical help or support and it’s not a life-threatening emergency or an injury needing urgent treatment, contact your GP to make an appointment. You can also get advice via NHS111.
During working hours, if you need other medical help or support and it’s not a life-threatening emergency or injury needing urgent treatment, contact your GP to make an appointment.
If you aren’t registered at your local surgery, find your nearest GP.
Call NHS 111 or visit 111 online. They can direct you to the nearest urgent care service or book an appointment with an out of hours doctor. They can also book an appointment at the Emergency Department for you if it is an emergency. This may reduce your wait.
Visit the NHS website for first aid advice for burns, cuts, swallowing non-edible objects/substances and more.
