What to do in an emergency
If someone needs urgent medical help, call 999 for an ambulance. They might be drowsy or unconscious, or having difficulty breathing. Tell the crew everything you know about the drugs they’ve taken, and hand over any you still have. In most cases, the ambulance crew won't tell the police, and this could save someone’s life.
You may have to wait a while for the ambulance.
- Stay calm, and try to keep the affected person calm too.
- Keep them away from crowds, bright lights and loud noises, and tell them to take slow, deep breaths.
- Stay with them until the ambulance arrives.
You can help with the person’s breathing by placing them in the recovery position. Read how to do this in the NHS first aid guide.
