If you, or someone you care for, becomes unwell and you’re not sure where to go, use NHS 111 to get the right care in the right place – including at your GP practice, pharmacy, or self-care at home.

📲💻 Go online, use the NHS App or call 111. Info: https://www.nhs.uk/111

🏥 Please only come to A&E when you have a serious injury or need emergency care. You should always call 999 or go straight to A&E in a life-threatening emergency situation.

As ever, please be assured that the NHS is here for you. We'd urge anyone with health concerns to continue to come forward to access the right care for you.

We have had reports of people becoming unwell and needing hospital treatment after taking 'American Zopiclone'.

If you use drugs, to help keep yourself and your friends as safe as possible:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Try not to use drugs alone – have friends around to keep an eye on you and look out for signs of an overdose.

💉Carry naloxone – naloxone can temporarily reverse the side effects of an opioid overdose, including non-opiate drugs that are contaminated.

⏰Start low go slow – contaminated drugs may look the same as drugs you usually take. Start off with a smaller dose and wait to see the effects before taking more.

💊Use one drug at a time – mixing drugs or taking 2 or more drugs together within a short time significantly increases the risks of an overdose.
