Local Hospitals

Local hospitals and walk-in centres provide access to a range of services. Experienced nurses are available to treat a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds and infections, as well as minor injuries like strains, sprains and cuts. They also provide information, such as the opening times and contact numbers, for all other local health services, including pharmacies, dental services and out-of-hours GP services.

Walk-in centres do not take the place of local GP or hospital services. They work alongside them. Not all walk-in centres offer the same services, so you should check to see which services your local centre provides.

If the person is seriously ill and needs immediate emergency care telephone 999. To help you decide what a critical situation is, here are some examples:

• loss of consciousness
• heavy blood loss
• suspected broken bones
• persistent chest pain for 15 minutes or more
• difficulty breathing
• overdose, ingestion or poisoning
• a deep wound such as a stab wound
• a suspected heart attack
• severe burns
• a severe allergic reaction

There are a few things that you should remember in any emergency. These will help you to deal with the situation quickly and efficiently.

Stay calm, shout for help. You may need to instruct someone to telephone 999. Make sure they know where the ambulance has to come to, and they have some details about the person who is injured or ill.

Don't put yourself in danger. For example, if someone has been electrocuted, make sure you switch off the power supply before touching him or her.

Do everything you can to help the person.

Don't give the person anything to eat, drink or smoke.

Don't stick anything in their mouth.
