Where to go
- Life-threatening (chest pain, trouble breathing, heavy bleeding, stroke signs, a fit, cannot be woken): call 999.
- Urgent but not life-threatening: A&E, or an urgent treatment centre, often quicker for cuts, sprains, minor burns and minor breaks.
- Not sure: NHS 111, online or by phone. They can book you a slot.
- Minor (coughs, colds, rashes): a pharmacist, no appointment needed.
