Emergency help

If you are at immediate risk of harm, call 999.

Remember:

  • Stay on the phone.
  • Give as much information as possible, including any medicines or drugs you or someone may have taken.
  • If you are with someone, stay with them.
  • Keep any medicines to show the ambulance crew when they arrive so they can treat most effectively.
  • The police will not attend if you are calling for an ambulance.

Please avoid visiting Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments unless you have a physical health emergency.
