Swine flu - everything you need to know

The sections below provide health and travel advice and more information on what swine flu is, what to do if you think you have it and what the government is doing to help combat it.

National Pandemic Flu Service

Flu information: 0800 1 513 513, flu treatment 0800 1 513 100

The National Pandemic Flu Service has been launched in England.

If you are in England and feel like you may have swine flu, visit the new website by following the link below, or call 0800 1 513 100 (textphone - 0800 1 513 200).

People who have swine flu symptoms will be given a unique access number and told where their nearest antiviral collection point is. They should then ask a flu friend - a friend or relative who doesn't have swine flu - to go and pick up their antivirals from their nearest antiviral collection point. The flu friend must show their own ID as well as that of the patient.
