How do I get emergency help
For chest pain, major bleeding, loss of consciousness
or difficulty breathing dial 999.
Major injuries such as head injuries and broken bones should go to an Accident and Emergency
Department at one of the local hospitals in Basingstoke, Frimley, Guildford and
Winchester.
Alton Hospital does not have an Accident and Emergency Department.
can offer
phone advice at all times, and may save a trip to any doctor or hospital
Monday to Friday 8.00 - 6.30 call us on 01420 84676
Outside these hours, call Thamesdoc on 020 8390 9990
Our phone system offers "press 9 for emergencies". You should be answered quickly.
The receptionist that answers your call is not medically qualified, she will put you through
to a nurse who will decide with you what needs to be done. If you can get to the
Health Centre we will always see emergencies, usually within minutes of arrival. If you cannot get to us,
we will try to get to you; we always have a duty doctor able to visit at short notice. Please
only use this service if it is truly an emergency- crying wolf doesn't help anyone and could
take us away from real emergencies.
