If you call 999 for an ambulance and find that during the call you don’t need us, that is OK, but please don’t just hang up. Please tell us you don’t need us. If we try to call you back, please don’t ignore us. We’re in this together, and we want to check that everything is OK.

A very rewarding CPR & AED awareness session in the local community on behalf of North West Ambulance Service to a lovely group of people who now hopefully have the confidence and ability to take action when someone needs it most. #CPR #AED #cardiacarrest #community #Awareness Megan Stephenson

“Dehydration is a real risk in warmer weather. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Serious dehydration needs urgent medical attention. Call 999 in an emergency, but for everything else use 111.nhs.uk." Paramedic Martyn (pictured).

NHS 111 online works the same as the 111 phone service and is for people who want quick advice about the best options for getting the care they need. This can include getting a call back from a trained clinician or nurse, booking them an appointment in A&E, or providing advice.
