  • The Minor Injuries Unit at the Royal Hallamshire
  • The NHS 111 service, available online or via phone to advise on the best course of action. Patients can often be booked into appointments, including for urgent dental treatment.
  • Community pharmacists, who can provide urgent advice and medication for winter ailments and do not need an appointment.

• Urgent Mental Health Support: If you are experiencing something that makes you feel unsafe, distressed, or worried about your mental health, you can contact your local crisis service in Sheffield by calling NHS 111 and selecting the mental health option. You can call for yourself or for someone else.

If you or a loved one is already receiving support from one of our services, and you are in a mental health crisis and need urgent help, you can still contact the team that is working with you during office hours. Outside of office hours please contact NHS111.

NHS 111 is for all ages, including children and young people, and those with neurodevelopmental needs.
