Signposting & Self-Referral

GettingHelpWithoutSeeingADoctor

Did you know that you may not always need to see a GP first to get the help you need?

Our website can help you find the most appropriate local services quickly and easily through signposting and self-referral options. Signposting directs you to services that may be better suited to your needs, while self-referral services allow you to contact specialist support directly without booking a GP appointment first.

You can explore a range of services, including:

  • Mental health support
  • Social and community services
  • Help with wellbeing, finances, and housing
  • Self-referral services, such as physiotherapy and other specialist support

Using these services can help you access care sooner and ensures GP appointments remain available for patients who need them most.
