A stroke is a life-threatening medical condition.

The second you suspect a stroke is the second you dial 999 or 112.

Think F.A.S.T. Face, Arms, Speech, Time.

If you or your family feel unwell, consider all healthcare options so you can get the right care, from the right place.

Infographic that says, 'Get the right care, from the right place. Self-care, take care of minor ailments such as colds and sore throats at home with a first aid kit and a well-stocked medicine cabinet. Pharmacy, ask your local pharmacist for advice on common minor illnesses such as headaches, tummy aches and coughs. GP surgery, make an appointment with your GP if you're feeling unwell and it is not an emergency for example, feeling ill, back pains or ear aches. Injury unit, get treatment for injuries like broken bones, dislocations and minor burns. Out of hours GP, if you urgently need to see a GP outside of normal hours, contact your local GP out of hours service. Visit an ED or call 999/112 if someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk, for example if they are choking or have chest pains or breathing problems'.

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but we can help. You'll get specialist care at your nearest injury unit for recent injuries (less than 6 weeks old) that are not life-threatening and unlikely to need admission to hospital.

Injury units can treat:
➡️ broken bones, sprains and strains, from knees to toes and from collarbone to fingertips
➡️ minor facial injuries (including oral, dental and nasal injuries)
➡️ minor scalds and burns
➡️ wounds, bites, cuts, grazes and scalp lacerations (cuts)
➡️ small abscesses and boils
➡️ splinters and fish hooks
➡️ objects stuck in eyes, ears or nose
➡️ minor head injuries (fully-conscious patients, who did not have loss of consciousness or vomit after the head injury)
