Get free health advice from Healthline this summer
Summer holidays are great for catching up with out-of-town friends or family, but unfortunately they can also be a time when illness or injury strike. And it can be hard to know where to go for help when you are away from home.
Healthline – 0800 611 116 – is a free telephone health advice service available at any time of the day or night from anywhere in the country. You can call Healthline from either a landline or a mobile phone to receive free, confidential health advice from registered nurses.
From a persistent headache to cuts, bruises and nasty bouts of food poisoning – Healthline can help.
Depending on the symptoms, you may be encouraged to seek medical treatment or be given advice on how to manage a condition or minor injury at home. Occasionally the nurse may refer you to be seen in the emergency department. Healthline nurses can also direct you to the nearest GP or after-hours pharmacy.
So when you are packing the suitcases and the car, make sure you write down the Healthline number and take it with you – 0800 611 116.
