If you’re hurt

If you've hurt yourself, it's important that you seek help.

In an emergency:

  • Dial 999 - you can ask to stay on the line while you wait for help to arrive.
  • Or go to your nearest Accident and Emergency department (A&E).

If it’s not an emergency:

  • Call NHS Direct on 0845 4647
  • If you can look after your injury yourself, make sure you keep it clean and use clean dressings.
