Notes on Guidance

Some emergencies are self-evident - collapse, major stroke, haemorrhage, poisoning, electrocution, severe burns, suspected heart attack, major fractures or serious injury all warrant a 999 ambulance.
Other emergencies such as severe abdominal pain, pneumonia, severe headache, worsening asthma, high fever in a young or listless child, all need to be dealt with promptly by a GP. Less serious problems eg earache, minor fevers, coughs and colds, tummy upsets, can usually initially be dealt with using over-the-counter medicines or wait for a routine appointment with the GP and should generally not be presented as emergencies for GPs.
