This NHS service is here to provide you with help and support whenever you need health advice and information. The phone line is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You should call the NHS 111 service if you need medical help fast, but it's not a 999 emergency.
You will be assessed, given advice and directed straight away to the local service that can help you next. Calls to NHS 111 are free from landlines and mobile phones.
