What to do if it is not an emergency:

If you are unsure of how urgent your condition is, call Healthline for free health advice any time of day or night by calling 0800 611 116. You can see your local pharmacist for advice on medication and minor health concerns. Many colds and fevers are viral and can be treated at home, with advice on self-care available on the Nelson Marlborough Te Whatu Ora website. Go to Nelson Medical and Injury Centre (open 8am-10pm daily) or Marlborough Urgent Care (open 8am-5pm daily). If it is an emergency, call 111. Minor injuries, simple back pain, and simple post-operative pain are better served at the Medical and Injury Centre or with your general practice doctor in the first instance.
