Emergencies
When to call 999 (and when not to)
GP surgeries do not offer an emergency service. We cannot get to a patient as quickly as an ambulance. Nor do we have the emergency equipment which they carry.
Please call 999 in the case of:
- Severe difficulty in breathing
- Severe chest pain for more than 15 minutes, especially with sweating and nausea
- A major accident
- Any other case where you think someone's life may be in immediate danger or there is severe pain
In all other cases, please phone the surgery, alerting the receptionist to the urgency of the situation. A doctor or nurse can usually phone you back within minutes to give further advice.
