Pharmacy

Pharmacists can offer advice on medicines and how to take them. They can also offer advice on common complaints such as coughs, colds, aches and pains, and other health issues, such as healthy eating and giving up smoking. You can talk to your pharmacists in confidence - even about the most personal symptoms. Most pharmacies now have a quiet area away from other customers where you can speak to the pharmacist more privately.

NHS Direct

NHS Direct is a 24-hour advice and health information service, staffed by nurses and professional advisors, providing confidential information on:

what to do if you or a family member feels ill;
particular health conditions;
local health services (such as doctors, dentists or out of hours pharmacies); and
self-help or support organisations.

Your GP surgery

Your local GP surgery provides a range of services including:

general medical advice and treatment;
prescriptions;
referral to a specialist or a hospital;
immunisations; and
tests.

Out of normal surgery hours, all GPs have an emergency service. This service is only for urgent medical problems that cannot wait to be treated until normal surgery hours. However, if you are still not sure about the best way to deal with your symptoms, NHS Direct can advise you on what to do.

Accident and Emergency/999

When it comes to your health or the health of someone in your family, it is often very obvious if the person is seriously ill and needs emergency care. You should get medical attention by either taking the patient to accident and emergency (A and E) or by phoning 999 for an emergency ambulance
