If you need medical treatment over the winter period and are not sure where to go, please dial 111. NHS 111 is the new non-emergency telephone service for people who need urgent treatment for an illness or injury but it is not an emergency.
They will assess your condition and find the best local health service to meet your need, whether that is a pharmacy, out of hours GP or emergency department. You should still dial 999 in an emergency.
