Other services
Minor Injuries Units (MIU) and mental health support:
Book an appointment via NHS 111 before visiting a unit or accessing local mental health services.
Please see Minor Injuries Units and First Aid Units
Emergency Departments (A&E) and 99 emergency ambulance
These services provide vital care for life-threatening emergencies, such as:
- loss of consciousness
- suspected heart attack or stroke
- severe breathing difficulties
- severe bleeding that cannot be stopped
In these cases call 999 immediately.
Dental services
How can I get an NHS dentist in an emergency or out of hours?
If you think you need urgent dental treatment:
- call your usual dentist in the first instance who will advise on emergency treatment
- use the NHS 111 online service if you cannot contact your dentist or you do not have one.
Non-COVID conditions
Seek urgent care and treatment at all times especially for symptoms of stroke and heart attack.
Delays in getting treatment pose a long-term risk to health - and we encourage people to use other important services such as cancer screening and care, maternity appointments, immunisations and mental health support.
These services can all be accessed safely - Help Us Help You.
Remember, wearing a face mask or covering is compulsory at many indoor settings such as shops and public transport.
