The NHS and other support services are here to help you with physical and mental health concerns.
If you are feeling unwell but not in need of urgent oremergency care, there are several options available to you:
• Pharmacies are available to advise and treat minor illnesses.
• GP practices across Solihull are open and continue to offer both face to face and remote consultations. GPs have been working hard together to anticipate and support the additional demands of illnesses this winter.
• You can call NHS 111 at any time. If you need to go to A&E, NHS 111 will book an arrival time. This might mean you spend less time in A&E.
• Call 999 only in a medical emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
