The aim of this campaign is to direct people to use NHS 111 first when they have an听urgent听but听not听life-threatening medical听need,听rather听than听going听straight听to听A&E. If the patient needs urgent care, NHS 111 can now book them in to be seen听quickly听and听safely听in听A&E and听help听ensure听that听patients听receive听the听right听care,听in听a听timely听and听safe听way.听We are also keen to highlight that the NHS 111 service can be contacted by textphone and NHS 111 BSL interpreter service.
We would be grateful if you could help communicate these messages via your channels including social, newsletters, and of course word of mouth to reach people who might otherwise miss out.
