About Emergencies: call 999

NHS Lothian asks you to dial 999, or go to your nearest Emergency Department, only in a critical emergency. If you think you need A&E or a minor injuries unit but it is not a critical emergency, call NHS 24 on 111 first, day or night, all year round, and you will be directed to the right care.
