When you think you need A&E,<br />
contact NHS 111 online first<br />
<strong>The</strong> NHS is encouraging the public to use NHS<br />
111 online to get urgent medical advice<br />
quickly – in addition to existing services –<br />
ahead of what England’s top doctor has said will<br />
be a ‘winter like no other.’<br />
With more people predicted to suffer from flu<br />
this year and hospitals already treating an<br />
increased number of COVID-<strong>19</strong> patients, NHS 111<br />
online offers an alternative way to get immediate<br />
medical advice.<br />
Data from September showed that the NHS<br />
was already experiencing record demand for<br />
emergency services, with ambulances responding<br />
to 76,000 life-threatening incidents and call<br />
handlers taking more than one million 999 calls.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NHS 111 phone service also saw record<br />
demand, with a call being taken every seven seconds.<br />
It’s recommended that if you have an urgent<br />
but not life-threatening medical need, you should<br />
visit NHS 111 online first rather than going<br />
straight to A&E. You can access the service by<br />
visiting the website 111.nhs.uk.<br />
People use the online 111 service for a range<br />
of reasons, including to check their symptoms and<br />
if an injury or illness requires further investigation,<br />
to get information on mental health support<br />
services available, or to seek advice on how to take<br />
a medication.<br />
<strong>The</strong> service is also able to arrange for you to<br />
be seen at an Urgent Treatment Centre, GP<br />
surgery, pharmacy, emergency dental services<br />
or A&E should you need it.<br />
If you or your loved one have a life-threatening<br />
illness or injury then you should always use 999.<br />
Just think 111 first.<br />
When you think you need A&E,<br />
go to NHS 111 online 111.nhs.uk<br />
or call 111.
