In many cases NHS 111 clinicians and call advisors can give patients the advice they need without using another service such as their GP or A&E.
If needed, NHS 111 can book patients in to be seen at their local A&E / emergency department or an urgent treatment centre, emergency dental services, pharmacy or another more appropriate local service – as well as send an ambulance should the patient’s condition be serious or life-threatening.
