Self Referrals
Did you know that there are some free NHS health services you can access without needing an appointment with your GP?
This is called self-referral and could help you find the care you need quicker and more easily than going through your surgery. Self-referral often includes services for drug and alcohol problems, as well as antenatal care and improving access to psychological therapies (IAPT).
You can register for most of them online. In some cases, you refer yourself by phoning rather than emailing or by completing an online form.
