Illness, Injuries, Emergency Advice and Dental Care


We know that finding the right place to go when you, or a family member, become ill or are injured can be confusing. 

If you are concerned about your own health or the health of a family member, please ring NHS 111 for advice and support.

NHS 111 will ask you a number of questions to decide what advice to give you. This can include self-care advice, directing you to a local pharmacy, advising that you contact your GP or attend an urgent and emergency care service.
Signs of sepsis

Sepsis is life-threatening and hard to spot.

If you think you, or someone you know, has symptoms of Sepsis, call 999 or immediately attend your local urgent and emergency care service. Trust your instincts.

How to help a choking child

Children, particularly those aged 1 to 5, often put objects in their mouth. This is a normal part of how they explore the world.

Some small objects, such as marbles, beads, and button batteries, are just the right size to get stuck in a child’s airway and cause choking.

The best way to avoid this is to make sure that small objects like these are kept out of your child’s reach.
