NHS 24 can provide information about named health conditions, treatments and NHS services.

NHS 24 cannot answer your enquiry if you:

• are unsure of the condition you have,
• feel that the treatment you have been given is not working
• would like advice or counselling
• or if you live outside Scotland

If you are feeling ill now please contact your GP. If you’re ill when your doctor’s surgery is closed and you feel it can’t wait until it re-opens, call NHS 24 on 08454 24 24 24. Calls are charged at local rate.
