Help us to help you…use the right NHS health service
Local health services, particularly GP surgeries and A&E departments, can get really busy as the weather gets colder. They will always focus first on those whose needs are most urgent and that can mean a long wait for families and children with less urgent conditions, so it is always worth knowing what other services are available. The attached flyer explains the available services, which might be more local and easier to access. Expert help and advice is provided by experienced health professionals and for a number of these services an appointment is not necessary. You’re more likely to get the help you need, more quickly, if you use one of these alternatives.
