NHS Glossary

A General Practitioner (GP) is your primary healthcare doctor. They are usually the first point of contact for non-emergency health concerns and can refer you to specialists if needed.

Accident & Emergency (A&E) departments treat patients with serious, life-threatening conditions resulting from sudden illness or injury.

Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs) are for issues that require urgent attention but are not life-threatening. They can treat minor injuries and illnesses, often with quicker waiting times than A&E.

You can get prescriptions from your GP. They will issue a prescription for medications you need, which can then be dispensed at a pharmacy.

Yes, the NHS offers a range of mental health services. You can speak to your GP about accessing support, or look for specific services in your local area.
