Too Ill To Wait Until Your GP Surgery Is Open.


TURN TO YOUR NHS OUT OF HOURS SERVICE.

When your GP practice is closed, and you’re too ill to wait until it re-opens, you can access appropriate out of hours services through NHS 24 on 111.

Phone 111 if:

  • you think you need A&E but it's not life or limb threatening
  • you need help with mental health distress
  • you need urgent care and your GP, pharmacy or dental practice is closed

Your local NHS out of hours service works with NHS 24 to make sure that urgent medical advice and care is always available to you.

If you have a health concern that’s not urgent, visit www.nhsinform.scot where there is trusted health advice and information available, including symptom checkers for many ailments and minor injuries.
