Re: A & E hospital changes in pipeline?
Annie, you sure they 111 will visit?
As I said, I had never heard of that before, so tried to find out more, and this is what I found, but there is no mention of them visiting?
How does it work?
The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses and paramedics.
They'll ask you questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you to the local service that can help you best.
That could be A&E, an out-of-hours doctor, an urgent care centre, a walk-in centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist, or a late-opening chemist.
Where possible, the NHS 111 team will book you an appointment or transfer you directly to the people you need to speak to.
If NHS 111 advisers think you need an ambulance, they'll immediately arrange for one to be sent to you.
Calls to 111 are recorded. All calls and the records created are maintained securely.
Information recorded during the call will be shared with other professionals directly involved in your care. Some of it will also be shared with NHS Digital to improve NHS 111 and 999 services.
