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.
NHS 111 can help if you’re not sure where to go
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 A&E for you if it is an emergency. This may reduce your wait.
