Some health problems require immediate emergency assistance rather than a routine GP appointment. Recognising potentially serious symptoms can help you seek the appropriate level of care without unnecessary delay.
Call 000 for an ambulance when someone has a life-threatening condition or needs immediate emergency assistance. Examples can include severe difficulty breathing, unconsciousness, severe chest pain, significant bleeding or another situation requiring urgent emergency care.
This list is not exhaustive, and symptoms can have different causes. If you believe someone’s life or immediate safety is at risk, do not wait for a routine appointment.
Edmondson Park Medical provides general practice care during practice hours. If you attend the practice with an urgent concern, inform reception staff so the situation can be assessed appropriately. For a medical emergency, call 000.
