This section provides details of who to contact if you suspect you have swine flu including a full list of GP out-of-hours contact numbers.
The Northern Ireland swine flu helpline number is 0800 0514 142. It is a freephone number and any caller will be put through to someone who will be able to provide advice and guidance for anyone displaying flu-like symptoms.
Textphone users/Text Relay service: - 18001 0800 0514 142
If you have flu-like symptoms and have recently travelled to an affected area or been in contact with someone who has, stay at home and contact your GP.
The doctor out of hours service is there for people who need urgent medical treatment that they would normally receive from their GP - but who cannot wait until the practice is opened the next day.
