Medical advice

  • Make sure you are registered with a local GP.
  • If you need medical help, but not urgently, phone 111 for advice.
  • In a medical emergency, for example, if someone is unconscious or seriously bleeding, call 999 and ask for an ambulance.
  • Ensure you know where your local pharmacy is.
  • If you have difficulties with mobility, or sometimes fall when at home, contact your GP.
  • Charities such as Age UK can assist the most vulnerable with personal advice, even for complex situations. They can also help with loneliness and enable independence through their local networks.
