Emergencies
For immediate, life-threatening emergencies, call 999 or go to your nearest Emergency Department (A&E).
If you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation, call 111.
If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, you can use the 111 service through a textphone by calling 18001 111.
For less urgent health needs, contact your GP in the usual way.
If you are concerned that the emergency is related to your NF2, then please also contact your local NF2 Specialist Nurses.

This is within working hours; outside of these hours use your local contact.
Attending the Emergency Department (A&E)
Clinic letter
The hospital that you are attending might not have any information about you, so it can be useful to take a clinic letter from the NF2 team with you.
Medication
It can be useful for the staff at the hospital to know what you take.
Let the NF2 team know
If the emergency happens during our NF2 office hours, please call us so that we can liaise with your local care team and/or the hospital and ensure they have all of the relevant information about NF2 to take care of you.
Contact us
If it happens out of hours, please inform us at the earliest opportunity.
