Alternatively...

1) If it’s an emergency…

If things are bad, you may not know WHAT to do or who to speak to. It’s important that you keep yourself safe and reach out to someone to help you work it out. Remember that you can call 999 from any phone free of charge at any point and they will be able to help you get the service you need (whether medical or otherwise).

If you medically worried about yourself you can also call 111 for advice

You can also go to your local A&E department (which you can find by searching you postcode on the NHS website).

Take care
