Should you need urgent health advice please contact your GP or call NHS 111. In an emergency please visit A&E or call 999
The best thing that anyone can do to help the NHS fight and beat coronavirus (COVID-19) is to keep up-to-date with the latest government guidance.
The NHS is still very much ‘open for business’, so if you or a member of your family does experience an emergency situation that isn’t related to coronavirus, your local A&E is still open and can help you. Calling 111 if you are unsure of where to go for treatment is also a great option as they will be able to point you in the right direction.
