Hello, how can we help you?

When to contact?

Contact us when

You need urgent care

Call 116117 if you need urgent treatment due to a sudden health problem. The telephone service is available 24/7. We will assess your need for treatment and the urgency of treatment. We will refer you to the emergency clinic, if necessary, or provide you with home care instructions for an acute health problem.

Do not contact us when

Your matter is non-urgent

In non-urgent matters, you can get help from your health station or the outpatient clinic treating you. Non-urgent matters include matters such as health problems requiring non-urgent treatment, non-urgent inquiries about laboratory responses, renewals of prescriptions and prolonged health problems that have not worsened.

You have an enquiry concerning a family member

You can enquire about patients at an emergency clinic straight from the emergency clinic.
