Accessing medical help
In the UK there are three main ways for you to receive medical help if you need it:
For minor illnesses you can go to your local pharmacy as a first point of contact. Pharmacists can offer clinical advice for minor health concerns such as coughs and colds, sore throats and tummy troubles. They can assess symptoms and will advise you if you need to seek further medical help
Attend your doctor's surgery via a pre-booked appointment. These appointments can take place either over the phone, online or face-to-face
If you are not sure which service to use, you can use NHS 111. Use this service to find out where to get help if you cannot contact your doctor during the day, or when your doctor is closed
