 If you need medical attention, there are lots of ways in which NHS Wales can help you. Not sure which service to use. Coughs, minor cuts, sore throats and other minor issues then choose self-care. Many illnesses can be treated in your home with over-the-counter medicines and plenty of rest. Unsure which service to use, then call NHS Wales Direct on 0845 4647. Pharmacists are highly trained to deal not just with prescriptions but with a host of health conditions, so visit your local pharmacist who can give you advice and the medicines you need. Contact your local GP or out-of-hours services for conditions that won't go away. If you need treatment or advice that doesn't require your GP or A&E, then visit your local minor injuries unit. But if your symptoms are serious, go direct to your local A&E department and only call 999 for life-threatening conditions that need immediate medical attention. If you're ever unsure, contact NHS Direct Wales on 0845 4647 or visit NHSdirect.wales.nhs.uk. You can also download the Choose Well app. Hashtag your NHS Wales.
