NHS Direct-Call 24 Hours A Day on 0845 4647

Calls are charged at local rate and as in the case of 999 calls, all calls are recorded.

Worrying health problems and questions can crop up at any time: minor cuts or burns, a bad bruise, sports injuries, allergic reactions to bites or stings, nights when your baby won't stop crying and you can't work out why, the headache that won't go away, incidents where you feel you probably don't need to call out the doctor, or go to the accident and emergency department and it's not really a 999 emergency, but you do need someone qualified and experienced to turn to. That's why the NHS has set up a 24-hour confidential helpline.

Staffed by nurses and trained operators, NHS Direct will give you immediate information and friendly advice on what to do and what not to do - any time of the day or night.

Of course, if they think you might have something more serious they'll advise you what to do or connect you to 999 if you need an ambulance.

They'll also have details of other relevant health information services, and late night pharmacies in your area.
