111

« Back to Glossary Index

The NHS’s urgent healthcare service for when you need medical help fast but it’s not a life-threatening emergency

You can call 111 or use 111.nhs.uk to get advice, be directed to the right service (like a pharmacist, urgent treatment centre, or out-of-hours GP), or get help with mental health and dental issues.

They can even make a routine GP appointment for you.
