❄️🥶 Taken a tumble in today’s snow or ice?

📞 Call NHS 24 on 111 for advice if you’re:

• too ill to wait for your GP/pharmacy to reopen
• thinking about going to A&E, but it’s not life- or limb-threatening

Knowing where to go helps keep our emergency departments free for those who need them most.
