What to do in an Emergency

Whatever the day or time, if you or someone else experiences severe chest pain, loss of blood or suspected broken bones, or any other life threatening illness go to your nearest accident and emergency department or call 999.

Accident and emergency departments are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and can assess serious injuries and provide emergency treatment.

GP Hubs

GP Hubs across Brent that are offer evening and weekend appointments across five GP practices.

NHS 111 Service

111 is the free, easy to remember number to call when you need help or advice urgently when it’s not a life-threatening situation or for out of hours care.

When should you use NHS 111?

People should use the NHS 111 service if they need help or advice urgently when it’s not a life-threatening situation.

You should call 111 if:

• it’s not a 999 emergency
• you don’t think it can wait for an appointment with your GP
• you don’t know who to call for medical help

For less urgent health needs, you should still contact your GP or dentist in the usual way. For immediate, life-threatening emergencies, patients should dial 999.

GP access hubs

Evening and weekend appointments are available with GPs in Brent via GP access hubs.

A GP access hub is a GP practice that offers evening and weekend appointments for patients registered with other practices in the area.

If patients call their practice and are unable to get an appointment within 48 hours or need to see a GP outside of normal opening hours, they will automatically be offered an appointment at their nearest GP access hub. Nurse appointments are also offered at some hubs.
