Healthline is a free, 24/7 phone service staffed by nurses, paramedics, and advisors who give health advice when you can't reach a GP or don't have one yet. Call 0800 611 116 — the call is free, including from a mobile. Staff can arrange to speak with you in your own language when your call is answered. It is not an emergency service (for emergencies, call 111), but it is the right first call for "is this urgent?" questions at any hour.
