Call 101 to contact the police when it’s not an emergency. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You should call 101 if you want to talk to your local police officer, get crime prevention advice, or report a crime that does not need an emergency response. For example: If your car has been stolen.

NHS 111 is a free-to-call single non-emergency number medical helpline that helps people get the right advice and treatment when they urgently need it.  You can also get help online using NHS 111 online. Both services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The service provides urgent care triage if you think you need A&E but it’s not life-threatening, and advice when your GP, pharmacy or dental practice is closed.
