In an emergency, always call 999

Our on-call line is not an emergency service. If someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk, call 999. For urgent medical advice that isn’t an emergency, call NHS 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk. Once everyone is safe, let us know on 01789 224429 so we can update the care plan.
