NHS111 - A new Out of Hours number

NHS111 is a new service that's being introduced to make it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. You can call 111 when you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency. NHS111 is a fast and easy way to get the right help, whatever the time.

• If you are calling from within Hampshire the service will act as your new Out of Hours number. Calls to NHS111 are free from mobiles or landlines.
• If you are calling from outside of Hampshire then our 01962 718697 number will continue to work. Calls to this number are paid for.
