Immediate action required: Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- you or someone you know needs immediate help
- you have seriously harmed yourself - for example, by taking a drug overdose
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Non-urgent advice: Use NHS 111 if:
- You need help now, but it's not an emergency
There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.
Important: Important – Please Read Any Correspondence You Receive About Your GP Registration
You may recently have received, or may shortly receive, correspondence as part of an NHS England exercise to ensure GP patient lists are accurate and up to date.
Please do not ignore this correspondence. This is a genuine NHS process and is not a scam.
