The Flow Navigation Centre

If you think you need to visit A&E, but it’s not life-threatening, and you can’t speak to a GP, you can access the Flow Navigation Centre. You can do this by calling NHS 24 on 111.

If the NHS24 triage team thinks you could benefit from a virtual A&E appointment, you will be referred on directly. If you would be more suited to a different type of treatment, they may provide more appropriate advice for your needs.

If you get an appointment with the Flow Navigation Centre, a team of emergency nurse practitioners and medics will provide you with a virtual or telephone consultation.

Just like a physical A&E, after your consultation a number of things can happen:

  • You might be given self-care advice and told to phone back if your symptoms worsen
  • If you require physical treatment, you could be given a scheduled arrival time at one of our A&Es or Minor Injuries Units
  • You might be referred to a more appropriate specialist service.

Flow Navigation Centre is open

You can access the Flow navigation centre by calling 111 during these hours.

Seven days a week 8am – 8pm
