What to do in an Emergency
If you experience severe chest pains and think
you may be having a heart attack, please call 999, ask for an
ambulance and tell them your symptoms. Similarly, with other major
injuries an ambulance to Accident and Emergency (A&E) at the
hospital is the most appropriate solution for you.
However, for many conditions there are more appropriate services to
use instead of going to A&E. These are all based locally and should
be easier to access, and usually don’t entail such a long waiting
time.
