Winter can be tough with all the bugs, coughs, and colds doing the rounds in schools, nurseries and other places. NHS services come under increased pressure at this time of year, so it would be a big help if you could share this booklet with families in your area.
This publication covers GP practices, local community pharmacies, high street opticians and dental practices, the day-to-day healthcare that’s available close to where people live. These services are all about preventing illness, diagnosing health problems, helping to manage long term conditions, and treating health concerns that don’t need hospital care. It tells people all they need to know about primary care services, including some things that members of the public may not be familiar with, such as:
- The new features on the NHS app
- The new pharmacy first offer
- Help with prescription costs
- Urgent dental and eyecare services, available evenings and weekends
