Getting NHS help and support over the festive period

Posted by: meb - Posted on:

If you do not require emergency care, you can get help by using these NHS services:

  • NHS 111: fully trained health professionals are available, 24/7, to help if you need medical help or advice, or you are unsure about whether you should go to hospital. You can contact NHS 111 online, or by calling 111. 
  • Pharmacy: pharmacists are trained health professionals who can help with your medication questions and minor health concerns. Many offer private consultations without an appointment and can advise where to get further help if you need it. 

If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, you should still attend A&E or call 999.
