EMERGENCY - 999

It may be appropriate in certain cases to call the emergency service (ambulance etc) on 999 instead of, or as well as, the doctor. Such as cases would include accidents with possible fractures, head injury with unconsciousness ('knocked out'), sudden collapse with chest pain or paralysis.

Please, however, always be mindful that the emergency services have many demands on their resources and always use 999 responsibly.
