If you have an urgent but not life-threatening medical need, make sure you contact NHS 111 first rather than going straight to A&E. If you do need urgent care, then NHS 111 can now book you in to be seen quickly and safely in A&E. As well as this, NHS 111 is also able to direct you to or book an appointment at Urgent Treatment Centres, GP surgeries, pharmacies, emergency dental services and walk in clinics.
Contacting 111 first will also help to keep you safe by maintaining social distancing and ensure that you receive the right care in the right place, in a more timely and safe way.
