Today is World Mental Health Day!
Anyone can experience difficulties with their mental health and it is not something anyone should feel ashamed of.

You don’t have to be in a crisis to seek help, anything you are concerned about with your mental health or what may be affecting it is completely valid. Noticing the signs early means you could get help a lot sooner.

GPs are here to support on a day to day basis and we can refer to specialist services who are well trained in supporting you exactly as you need to be. There are also multiple external services that are open 24/7 such as Samaritans. They are available anytime, just call 116 123.

We’re here day or night, 365 days a year.

📱Call us for free on 116 123.

The 9th of September is Emergency Services day. A day to celebrate and thank all of those incredible staff and volunteers for the work they do.

999 Facts and Figures:
The 999 number was first used in the UK to contact an emergency service in 1937! Before this you had to dial 0 and ask to be put through to the police or fire services.

Every week more than 560,000 calls are made to emergency services in the UK.

It is estimated that around 97% of 999 calls are answered within 5 seconds.
