24 Hour Self Care

This section of the website provides information about the wide range of NHS services available to help you and your family in Liverpool.

Before using healthcare services, consider whether you could treat your condition at home with the help of the NHS Direct telephone service or your local pharmacy.

Your local doctor, or General Practice (GP), offers personalised, routine healthcare and can refer you to other specialist or community services.

If you are in need of non-emergency medical attention in the next few hours NHS Walk In Centres provide same-day, nurse-led treatment of minor injuries and illnesses without an appointment. The GP Out of Hours service and GP-led walk in service at Mersey View, Everton Road also provide access to a local GP when your practice is closed or appointments unavailable.

Emergency Services are available to help you in critical or life-threatening situations.

 If you are unsure which service to use or need any further information, telephone and online advice is also available.
