How can we help you today?

Self-Care This Winter: Stay well by taking simple steps at home. Keep warm, eat nourishing meals, and get plenty of rest.

For minor illnesses like coughs, colds, sore throats, or mild flu symptoms, drink plenty of fluids, use lozenges or warm drinks to soothe your throat, and consider over-the-counter remedies for aches or fever. Wash your hands regularly and cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing to prevent spreading germs.

Most minor illnesses improve within a few days, but if symptoms get worse, persist, or you have difficulty breathing, high fever, or feel very unwell, contact your GP promptly.

111 is the NHS non-emergency number. It’s fast, easy and free. Call 111 and speak to a highly trained adviser, supported by healthcare professionals. They will ask you a series of questions to assess your symptoms and immediately direct you to the best medical care for you.

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

In case of a life-threatening emergency, please dial 999.
