Speaking as a non-UK controller, either call will get you my undivided attention for as long as you need it.

As the others said above, the ground response will depend on what's actually wrong, and range from an ambulance being called to meet the aircraft, to full bells and whistles, or even the rescue coordination centre (SAR) being activated if a remote forced landing (or worse) is considered likely.
