Emergency and urgent care waiting times
Non-urgent help
If it’s not serious or life-threatening use NHS 111 online or call 111 to get you to the nearest and quickest option. NHS 111 is available 24/7.
If needed, expert clinicians will arrange for you to be seen at one of our hospitals.
Please do not just turn up, as you may be directed elsewhere. We will always see people who are most seriously ill first.
