Further Help And Advice

Accident and Emergency Departments and 999 Services are exactly that - for serious emergency cases. An emergency is a critical or life-threatening situation which may include loss of consciousness, severe chest pain, head injury or loss of blood. People who use these services for minor problems may prevent others with life-threatening conditions from getting the immediate care they need.

If the situation is less critical and you are unsure what to do, call NHS Direct, which is a
24-hour health advice line, staffed by nurses and health information advisors. The telephone number is 0845 46 47.

Information is also available on their website www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk.

The Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) can provide confidential, on-the-spot advice and support, helping you to sort out any concerns you may have about the care we provide, guiding you through the different services available from the NHS.
