If you find you have an emergency situation which cannot wait, ring 999 for the emergency ambulance service.

RING 999 IMMEDIATELY IF THE PERSON IS:-

• Not breathing
• So breathless cannot speak
• Breathing difficulties AND very pale, blue or clammy
• Profuse bleeding
• Unconscious and unrousable
• Becoming rapidly more drowsy without explanation
• Unexplained continuous pain across chest + pale or clammy

If the patient is unconscious make sure they are able to breathe properly.  It may be a good idea to place them in the recovery position, if you are able.

If you feel an immediate ambulance is not appropriate but you fear the situation may be serious and urgent attention is needed, please contact a Doctor at our surgery on 01480 483100.

Let the Receptionist know you believe it is an emergency and the Receptionist will ensure the Doctor contacts you as soon as possible. Click here to make an appointment.
