In an emergency

SHOUT and PH Crisis Support Text Service

Shout is the UK's first 24/7 text service, free on all major mobile networks, for anyone in crisis anytime, anywhere.

It’s a place to go if you're struggling to cope and you need immediate help.

Practitoner Health have teamed up with SHOUT to create a confidential 24/7 text service for PH patients.

If you need support after hours you can text NHSPH to 85258.

Support in an emergency or crisis

NHS PH is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis or feel unsafe or at risk to yourself or others, then you should contact 111 or call 999, visit your own GP or attend your nearest Emergency Department/A&E as soon as possible.

The NHS help for suicidal thoughts webpage includes phone and text lines, plus tips for coping in a crisis.

The Samaritans: 0161 236 8000 (local call charges apply) or 116 123 (free to call) can also provide confidential support and are open 24 hours a day.
