Sometimes we are not sure where to go with our injury or illness and that is a problem. Very often we go to A&E when it is not really necessary. As a result, too much pressure is put on these services and it makes it more difficult to treat those people in most need.

So how can you find out what type of medical attention you need? Health Help Now can help you answer this question. The aim of this website is to help people in South East London find the right service for their health needs. Health Help Now website contains a series of questions that you have to answer in order to find out what kind of health service is the most suitable. By choosing the right service for your needs, you can avoid unnecessary trips to A&E.

North and East London Commissioning Support Unit have developed Health Help Now with input from local GPs, hospital doctors, and other health professionals. This service is also available to download on your mobile device or tablet. And remember: if the illness or injury is life threatening, don’t hesitate to call 999 straight away.
