Which service is best for me? Choosing well

Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group have published a new leaflet to help people choose which service they should access: their pharmacies, their GPs, A&E, or somewhere else?

It can be hard to find the right service when we are injured or become unwell. This flyer helps to explain the different options:

  • Self-care
  • NHS 111
  • Pharmacy
  • GP practice
  • Walk-in service
  • A&E

Who can help with your illness?

You can care for a sore throat at home, but you might need to phone NHS 111 or go to a pharmacy if you're unsure or if you've got a painful cough. If you're feeling poorly or vomiting, you might need to see a doctor or go to a walk-in service. In an emergency, like heavy bleeding, or chest pain, you should go to A&E.
