If you are facing life-threatening emergency
Call 999
999 is for life-threatening emergencies like serious accidents, strokes and heart attacks.
If you're not sure whether you need to call 999, NHS 111 can direct you to the best place to get help.
If you're in danger and cannot speak or whisper, make a silent 999 call
Try to speak to operator even by whispering. If you cannot, the operator may ask you to press keys or cough to answer questions unless they hear any voices.
If you're using mobile, press 55
If you don't speak or answer questions, press 55 or tap when prompted and your call will be transferred to the police.
The police will usually be able to find your location.
If you don't press 55 or respond, your call could be ended.
If you're using landline
If you don't speak or answer questions and the operator can only hear background noise, they'll transfer your call to the police.
If you replace the handset, the landline may remain connected for 45 seconds in case you pick it up again.
Calling 999 from a landline automatically gives the police information about your location.
If you need help with your health, but not an emergency
