Choose Well
9 December, 2009
Every week around 30,000 people in the East of England visit A&E for a range of ailments or injuries. While the majority of patients do require emergency treatment, some patients may not realise that their symptoms could be treated quicker or more appropriately by other NHS services.
The ‘Choose Well’ thermometer shows all the NHS services available to you. We have summarised each service to help you make the right decision on which service is best for you according to your symptoms.
| Self-care | treating minor illnesses or injuries themselves |
| Calling NHS Direct | for round the clock health queries and information about local services |
| Local pharmacist | advice for treating common winter illnesses and the best medicines to use |
| Visiting their GP | for medical advice, examinations or an illness or injury that require prescriptions |
| NHS walk-in centre | for treating minor illnesses and injuries that do not require an A&E visit and without needing an appointment |
| A&E or dialling 999 | for serious illness or injuries considered to be critical or life threatening |
You can also go to www.nhs.uk to check symptoms, find local services, get health information and for health news.
