For care that is not urgent, you may also visit your nearest GP or pharmacy. If your GP or pharmacy is closed, for non-urgent cases you can call NHS 24 on 111 or click here. NHS 24 will also be able to help you with questions related to mental health.

The National Health Service (NHS) provides publicly funded healthcare services to people living in the UK. Most NHS services & treatments are free (even if you are an asylum seeker or refugee), although there can be charges for some things such as some dental and optical treatments.
Always call the relevant service provider to find out if you qualify for free healthcare.
