Dialling 999 for an Ambulance will not get seen quicker at A&E. You will be seen in priority order with the most critical patients first. You still wait as all other patients have to be seen.
At the moment, we are experiencing high levels of life-threatening emergencies so please use alternative healthcare options for injuries and illnesses which are not serious. #HelpUsHelpYou
We are currently very busy. Please help us to reach those patients who need us most by only calling 999 in a life-threatening emergency. If it’s not serious, #HelpUsToHelpYou and consider another healthcare option
Elliot, a 999 Call Handler, speaks on the increase of calls we are currently experiencing.
