Using NHS Services

Use your pharmacist

If you are feeling under the weather seek advice from your local pharmacist. Pharmacists are experts in providing medical information and advice and have at least five years medical training and often a lot more. If you need specialist medical advice, can point you in the right direction. Local Pharmacy opening hours.

NHS 111

When to use 111

You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it’s not a life-threatening situation. It is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year and is free to call from your landline or mobile phone.

If it is an emergency, an ambulance is dispatched immediately without the need for any further assessment.

You should call 111 if:

  • You need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency.
  • You think you 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 or medical information or reassurance about what to do next.
  • If you are injured or unwell but not sure what to do, dialling 111 is a good start

Call 111 if you need the following other services:

  • GP – out of hours’ service – provides telephone advice and face-to-face consultations with a GP or nurse outside normal opening hours for GP surgeries and includes home visits for patients who are housebound.
  • Bristol dental out of hours service
