Getting the Right Treatment

When moving to a new city and attending university, you may not know what health services are available to you. If you become unwell or injured, without knowing your local health services, you may unnecessarily call or visit A&E.

Unwarranted visits to A&E puts tremendous strain on the doctors, nurses and paramedics. A&E is to be used for emergency and life threatening conditions only.

If it is late at night and you are confused about what to do, remember there are other services available to use than A&E. More information on where to get the best treatment for your condition is available here.

You can also find your nearest local services such as Pharmacies and dentists on the NHS Choices website.
