NHS 111

NHS 111 helps people get the right advice and treatment when they urgently need it.

Clinicians, such as nurses, doctors, pharmacists and paramedics now play an important role in NHS 111. In fact, over 50% of people who call 111 speak to someone in one of these roles.

In many cases NHS 111 clinicians and call advisors can give patients the advice they need without using another service such as their GP or A&E.

If needed, NHS 111 can book patients in to be seen at their local A&E / emergency department or an urgent treatment centre, emergency dental services, pharmacy or another more appropriate local service – as well as send an ambulance should the patient’s condition be serious or life-threatening.

NHS 111 is here to make it easier and quicker for patients to get the right advice or treatment they need, be that for their physical or mental health.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To get help from NHS 111, you can:

• Go online to nhs.uk (for assessment of people aged 5 and over only).
• Call 111 for free from a landline or mobile phone.
