About Course

A trip on an uneven pavement, a sprained wrist or a sudden fever can happen to anyone. Knowing where to go saves time and worry. This course explains what urgent treatment centres can help with, when A&E or 999 is the right choice, how NHS 111 can guide you, and how to help an ambulance crew find you.

This course gives general information about NHS urgent care services in England. It is not medical advice. In an emergency, always call 999.
