      Depends on how sick I am. If it something that can be treated with self care and medication that can be used at home etc then I would treat myself.

      If it was something that required medical attention then I would arrange a visit to my GP and see what they suggest.

      However, if it something more serious I would call 111 for advice and take it from there, but if it was an emergency I would go to the hospital.

      For most things, I would phone my doctors. They are very good and will normally give me an appointment straight away if I have a problem which can’t wait.
      For some things, I know I don’t need a doctor and I can wait to get better or ask a pharmacist which medicine to buy.
      If it were an emergency and I was really scared, I would ask people nearby for help, or phone 999 if I was on my own.
