As the NHS continues to see and treat people safely, social distancing and infection prevention and control precautions have reduced space in A&E/Emergency Department waiting areas by 30-50%. Contacting NHS 111 first will help NHS services maintain social distancing and ensure that patients receive the right care, in a timely and safe way.
It’s recommended that if you have an urgent but not life-threatening medical need, you should contact NHS 111 first rather than going straight to A&E. You can access the service by visiting the website 111.nhs.uk or by dialling 111 on your phone.
