NHS South Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group has issued some really helpful advice about where to find ‘urgent health care’ when your GP is not available.
If you’re poorly or you’ve suffered a minor injury, the first port of call is usually your GP. But here are some other good ways to find the healthcare you need.
Try your pharmacy
They are great for coughs, colds and other minor illnesses
Phone 111
111 is the local NHS advice line with trained staff to advise the best course of action. 111 is also the number to call for the out of hours GP service. If you don’t need to see a GP, of course the 111 staff will offer you the advice you need.
