Urgent and emergency healthcare in Southwark
NHS 111
If you need urgent help, dial 111 or use the online service at 111.nhs.uk. After asking you some questions, the 111 service can do things like book you into A&E, book you a GP appointment, refer you for an emergency prescription, or help you speak to a mental health professional.
A&E
If the situation is life-threatening, then call 999 or go to your nearest Accident & Emergency (A&E) department.
Emergency Department, King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9RS
A&E, St Thomas' Hospital, Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7EH.
A&E at St Thomas' Hospital also has a specialist area for children's emergencies.
There is also an Urgent Care Centre at Guy's hospital, which is an alternative to the emergency department (A&E) for a range of minor injuries and urgent medical problems that cannot wait for a GP appointment, but do not require A&E.
