NEW NHS 111 SERVICE

WHAT IS 111?

If you don't speak English you can request an interpreter.

If you need medical help and your GP practice is closed, call the new NHS 111 number.
The call is free, from landlines and mobiles.
When you call 111, an adviser will ask you questions to find out what's wrong and give you advice or direct you to the appropriate service.

For health needs that are not urgent, you should call your GP.
If a health professional has given you a number to call for a particular condition, you should continue to use that number.
You should call 999 in an emergency.

You can obtain 24 hour general medical advice by telephoning NHS Direct on 111 or by accessing the NHS Direct website.


WHO CAN USE IT?
The NHS 111 number is currently only available in certain areas of England.
Where the service is not available you can call NHS Direct on 0845 4647
