Emergency department

In an emergency you can always go to the emergency department at your local hospital. They will be able to assess your mental state and treat accordingly. In most emergency departments a psychiatric liaison nurse is available.

 

Other forms of help

General health enquiries

For general health enquiries dial 111 - this has replaced NHS Direct as the single number to call for urgent non-emergency advice. 

 

Residents can, if they wish, still contact their GP or local pharmacist for care advice. The NHS 111 service does not replace the emergency 999 service.
