When to call NHS 111

You can call 111 or get help from 111 online if you’re not sure what to do and if you think you need medical help right now. You can also call 111 if our surgery is closed (out-of-hours).

You will be directed to the best place to get help, depending on your medical issue.

111 can’t issue fit notes or book, change or cancel an appointment. You can do these online on our website.
