NHS 111: Get to the health help you need this winter
- 4 months ago
This winter the NHS across Yorkshire and Humberside is encouraging people to get to the help they need by using NHS 111.
Either call the number or visit NHS 111 online to get the help you need for your symptoms at https://111.nhs.uk/
NHS 111 can assess and direct people to the most appropriate local service, including urgent treatment centres, GP practices, and consultations with a pharmacist.
And, if needed, it can arrange a call back from a nurse, doctor or paramedic.
Dr Nigel Wells, NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board's (ICB) Executive Director of Clinical and Professional, said: "NHS 111 is an easy and convenient way to get urgent help for a wide range of health problems from the comfort of your own home.
"Using the NHS 111 service could save you a trip to A&E. It is estimated that up to two-fifths of A&E attendances are avoidable or could be better treated elsewhere.
