Talking therapies, or psychological therapies, are effective and confidential treatments delivered by fully trained and accredited NHS practitioners. They can help with common mental health problems like stress, anxiety and depression.
Self-referral
Stop Smoking Services
Find a stop smoking service near you.
Physiotherapy Service
You are now able to access a physiotherapy assessment directly rather than first seeing your GP if you have a musculoskeletal problem.
Eye Care
If you have any concerns at all about your eyes, see a High Street optometrist (also known as an optician) straight away. They will tell you if you are eligible for a free eye health examination.
Some eye diseases can lead to blindness or some loss of vision, but if detected early enough, your eyesight can often be saved.
