Emergency help
If you are at immediate risk of harm, call 999.
Remember:
- Stay on the phone.
- Give as much information as possible, including any medicines or drugs you or someone may have taken.
- If you are with someone, stay with them.
- Keep any medicines to show the ambulance crew when they arrive so they can treat most effectively.
- The police will not attend if you are calling for an ambulance.
Please avoid visiting Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments unless you have a physical health emergency.
