Accident & Emergency (A&E)

- loss of consciousness,
- pain that is not relieved by simple analgesia,
- acute confused state,
- severe chest pain, or
- breathing difficulties.
If you are unsure then please feel free to ring the practice for advice.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
