Unwell, or need someone to talk to.

Feeling unwell?

In the event of a life-threatening emergency, 999 immediately. Text relay users can also call 18000 to get through to 999.

No need to worry, as there are several ways to get the medical help you need. One option is to use the NHS 111 service, which can be accessed through their website at https://111.nhs.uk/. This service can provide you with valuable medical information and guide you in the right direction for the help you require.

For those who require assistance in other ways, there are additional options available. Text relay users can call 18001 111 using text relay, 24 hours a day. British Sign Language (BSL) users can access the service through signvideo.co.uk/nhs111.

If you require an interpreter, call 111 and ask for assistance in your preferred language. Don’t let feeling unwell ruin your bank holiday – take advantage of these resources to get the help you need.

My favourite item of technology.

Technology, love it or hate it, we need it nowadays!!

My favourite item of technology has to be my Samsung galaxy phone. It is essential for me that I can always contact someone in an emergency, so this is a vital thing for me to have, not a luxury item.

Whilst I do have it for that vital need, it helps with so many other things, emails, keeping in touch with friends, assistance apps, maps, WhatsApp to keep in touch with and send messages/photos/voice messages to friends and family, notes and reminders, calendar, banking, store card apps, taking photos, and writing on here.

I use this app https://passengerassistance.com for train travel, it allows you to set up your own profile and book the assistance you need for the journey. You can find it as an app on your phones app store, or access the website via the link I have provided. I highly recommend it.
