NHS 24
Newest Review: ... behind the scenes tend to make a lot of mistakes they seem to have got the NHS 24 help line spot on. If you have some medical problems out of hours then I would strongly advise seeking help from NHS 24 rather than heading for accident and emergency because it will turn out much quicker in the long run and there is nothing worse than being stuck suffering in an A&E waiting room.

Do your bit an help the system run more smoothly use NHS 24!
Their number is : 08454 242424

I don’t know about you, but when I feel unwell, I have a large tendency to fear the worse and think that I am at best going to suffer my symptoms for a long time or at worse end up in hospital or something similar. For me, I think it is a personality trait and while maybe not a great one, it is there and can cause panic and distress at times that I could be doing with knowing that everything will be ok. Up until a couple of years ago, if something like this were to have happened to me, I would most likely sit in a blind panic over what to do. Since I know that I can be this way, I would try my hardest not to get my flatmate to drive me to A & E as I really ...
