NHS Direct

NHS Direct provides advice and health information 24 hours a day. This is particularly useful if someone is ill at night, other services are not open or it is difficult to get to another service.

The service is staffed by nurses and professional advisors who can provide information on particular illnesses, where to find local services and self- help or support organisations.

You can telephone NHS Direct on 0845 4647 (calls charged at local rates) or follow the link below to the NHS Direct website.
