Because of coronavirus (COVID-19), it can be hard to know what to do if you’re unwell. It’s important to get medical help if you think you need it.

For help from a GP – use your GP surgery’s website, use an online service or app, or call the surgery.
For urgent medical help – use the AHC 111 online service, or call 111 if you’re unable to get help online.
For life-threatening emergencies – call 999 for an ambulance.
