Advantages: Vast knowledge and quick advice

Disadvantages: None

NHS Direct is a great service which offers a quick and helpful service. I believe it must really help cut down on doctors appointments as any problems you have, you can first speaker to them over the phone and they can usually advise you if you need to take it further. When I phoned them up they were extremely good, I first spoke to someone for a preliminary discussion and then if they think it is necessary an actual Doctor will call you back, within about 10 minutes I was called and speaking to someone who was very knowledgeable. This is great as you may just be after some advice and rather than go through the hassle of booking to see your GP you can just call NHS direct. Their website also offers a mass of advice and a self help guide which allows you to select your symptoms and it then gives you information on what to do next. If you have a medical query or non major problem I would always recommend you make NHS Direct your first point of call.

Summary: If you have a medical query or non major problem I would always recommend you call NHS Direct 1st
