If you need urgent medical advice between the hours of 6.30 pm – 8 am weekdays, during weekends or on Bank Holidays – please telephone 111.

NHS 111 can help if you have an urgent medical problem and you’re not sure what to do. For children under 5 call 111

For people aged 5 and over go to 111.nhs.uk

Via this service you can access nursing care, palliative care and GP advice, reviews and visits for urgent care not requiring attendance at A&E. The out-of-hours service is not for routine appointments, chronic disease management, hospital referrals or repeat prescriptions.

In the case of a clear emergency such as a suspected heart attack or stroke call 999 immediately. 

Our local A&E Department is at the Conquest Hospital, The Ridge, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, TN37 7RD.

Please remember that A&E is for true accidents and emergencies. If you attend with a minor illness you will wait for a long time to be seen and also delay care to those who need it. If you are unsure whether you should go to A&E out of hours please call 111.
