Information : Emergencies & Out of Hours
 
When to call an ambulance?
If someone has collapsed or is choking and you are unable to help, then call an ambulance straightaway. In particular, if you experience chest pain for more than 10 -15 minutes which may be accompanied by nausea and sweating, dial 999 and inform the ambulance service that you think you may be having a heart attack, then take an aspirin ( it must be an aspirin). Research shows that aspirin reduces complications following a heart attack.
