📣You don't need to wait till next week to access health services if you feel unwell.
📲NHS 111 is much more than a helpline – If you’re unwell, unsure what to do, or worried about symptoms, 111 gives fast guidance from trained advisers and clinicians. It’s designed for situations where you need help but don’t need an ambulance.
