NAS dealt with over 39,000 emergency 999 calls in December 2024 only, we expect these numbers to rise to 40,000 this December.
Before calling an ambulance or arriving at a hospital ED, first consider Self Care, Pharmacy, GP Surgery, Injury Units or the Out of Hours GP Service.

Of the patients signposted to the Clinical Hub, one third of these callers avoid ED admission and instead receive care locally.

It’s natural to be curious during emergencies but please, put the camera away. If you witness a medical emergency or accident, please respect the privacy both patients and our team.
Instead, offer help if you can, give space to emergency responders and allow us to do our job.

Both adults and children should always wear a correctly fitted lifejacket when on, near or in water.
Tides and weather can change rapidly and it's easy to suddenly find yourself in a dangerous situation.
Follow @watersafetyire for more advice.
