  • You think you may need to go to A&E or need another NHS urgent care service
  • You don't know who to call or you don't have a GP to call
  • You need health information or reassurance about what to do next
  • You are advised by Practice staff to call 111

Calls to this service are free from both landlines and mobiles. A call handler will assess your problem and advise you on what to do next.

999

If you think you or someone else may be having a life-threatening illness, such as a heart attack (usually a severe, heavy, dull or crushing pain in the centre of the chest lasting more than 15 minutes) telephone 999 and ask for an ambulance.

Hallamshire Hospital Minor Injuries Unit has now reopened

The Royal Hallamshire Hospital’s Minor Injuries Unit has reopened for patients with minor injuries including broken bones, burns, and cuts. No appointment is necessary but social distancing will be in place and patients are asked to wear a mask and gel their hands. The Unit will operate its normal opening hours (8am to 8pm, 365 days a year).
The Minor Injuries Unit does not provide care for patients with minor illnesses, chronic health conditions or if the injury requires a 999 ambulance.
Anyone visiting the Minor Injuries Unit, or any other healthcare service should:
•      Not attend if you have any symptoms of Covid-19
•      Wear a mask at all times while in the building
•      Wash hands on entry and exit from the Unit
•      Not move around different areas of Unit unless absolutely necessary
•      Come alone unless you need assistance.

For minor illnesses and injuries there are a range of other services in the City which provide care or advice:
Anyone who is in doubt about which urgent care service they need to use should call NHS 111, or visit NHS 111 online first.
