NHS Services
The Occupational Health Service does not provide primary care and is not a walk-in centre.
It is strongly recommend that you sign up with a GP, if you have not already done so, as soon as possible, before getting ill.
The NHS Choices website will provide a list of your closest GPs, dentists and other NHS services.

If the situation is not life-threatening then we would urge you to do one of the following:
- Contact your GP
- Visit your local A&E Department
- Visit a local Walk-In Centre
- Call NHS 111 (non-emergency NHS helpline)
