Not sure where to go for urgent medical help? Remember: if it's not an emergency, it's not for 999.

If you need urgent advice or treatment, but it's not an emergency, NHS 111 can help.

✅ Available 24/7, every day
✅ Clinically assessed advice from a GP, nurse or paramedic
✅ Get directed to the right local service for you

Call 111 or go online at 111.nhs.uk

Your school's defibrillator could help save a life - make sure we can find it!

Over 1,100 schools in the South Central region have already registered their defibrillator - is yours one of them?

The Department for Education guidelines state: schools should register their defibrillators on The Circuit, the national defibrillator network.

When a 999 call is made in a cardiac arrest emergency, every second counts. Registering your defibrillator means our emergency call takers can see it and direct bystanders to it.

✅ Check if your defibrillator is visible to 999

❌ Not showing up? Register it for free - it takes as little as five minutes
👉 thecircuit.uk

🆘 Need help? Visit The Circuit's dedicated schools page for FAQs and a step-by-step video
👉 bhf.org.uk/thecircuit/schools

❤️ Help keep more hearts beating

NB: the person responsible for the defibrillator should register it

Our control room teams are reporting seeing an increase in people calling back on 999 to ask for how long they may have to wait for an ambulance.

Please only call us back on 999 if the patient's condition changes, or you no longer need an ambulance as you can make your own way to a hospital or treatment centre.

We know waiting can be worrying, but please be assured that we are prioritising the people who need us most.

If your emergency is not serious or life-threatening and requiring immediate treatment or urgent assessment, we usually aim to be with you in 2-3 hours but at this time of year, there are times when that wait can be significantly longer.

You should only call 999 if you, or someone you're with, is suffering a serious or life-threatening emergency that requires immediate assessment.

This includes, but is not limited to:
📞Unconsciousness
📞Not breathing
📞Severe bleeding
📞Serious burns
📞Chest pains
📞Symptoms of stroke
📞Fall from height
📞Major trauma (injury)

For anything not requiring our immediate help - because it is not a serious or potentially life-threatening emergency - urgent treatment centres and other NHS walk-in services are open all weekend until late into the evening.

And you can always get help using 111 online or calling 111 - both services available 24-7.
