What Happens When I Call?
A fully trained call handler will ask you a series of questions about your condition. This will allow them to signpost you to appropriate care. This could be your GP Surgery when it re opens, a walk in centre, A&E, Pharmacy or emergency dentist.
Mental Health Crisis?
You should call 999 or go to A&E if you, or someone you know, experiences a life-threatening medical or mental health emergency. These are cases where there is immediate danger to life or physical injury. A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency. If you feel like you may be close to acting on suicidal thoughts or have seriously harmed yourself, you should call 999 or go to A&E directly if you need immediate help and are worried about your safety.
