General Information » Essential Info » In Emergency

If the worst happens, dial 999 to call the police (free from any phone). This number will also put you in touch with the fire or ambulance services. To report non-urgent crime, contact your local police station.

In case of an accident, most major hospitals have 24 hour Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments (see p.20). Free emergency treatment is open to EU nationals, nationals of non-EU European countries upon production of a passport, and UK residents of over 12 months. NHS Direct is a confidential 24 hour helpline and website available to anyone to help diagnose medical complaints. Call to speak to a nurse for advice at any time of day or night, or see www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk.
