The service is under extreme pressure right now
Nottingham patients have been told to use NHS services wisely this winter. The call comes as the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire health and care system remains in a critical incident.
Members of the public are being asked to use services wisely to ensure those people with the greatest need can access care and support. 111 online will connect you with a doctor, nurse or other trained healthcare professional if needed.
"Urgent treatment centres are open at least 12 hours a day, every day and offer appointments that can be booked through NHS 111 online. They are equipped to diagnose and deal with many of the most common ailments people attend our emergency departments for, so please consider using them if it is not life threatening.”
Nottingham and Nottinghamshire residents can also make use of the NHS App for access to a wide range of services and information, meaning that they don’t necessarily need to call their GP or wait on the telephone for an appointment.
