Looking after your health is important so that you feel good and can cope with the challenges and pressures of everyday life.

Remember:

• If it’s a medical emergency, and you think someone’s life is at risk, call 999
• If you don’t know if you should go to the doctor, or need advice, you can call NHS Wales on 111
• If you’re quite worried about symptoms and can’t see a doctor, or can’t find what you need, try calling NHS Wales on 111.
