Health at Hand
24 hour medical support for you and your family
Through our telephone health information service, Health at Hand, you have access to a qualified
and experienced team of healthcare professionals, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Whether you are calling because you have late night worries about a child’s health, or you have
some questions that you forgot to ask your medical practitioner, it’s likely that Health at Hand
will be able to provide you with the help you need.
The team of nurses, pharmacists, counsellors and midwives is on hand to give you the benefit of
their expertise. They can answer your questions and give you all the latest information on specific
illnesses, treatments and medications as well as details of local and national organisations.
They can also send you free fact sheets and leaflets on a wide range of medical issues,
conditions and treatments, and will happily phone you back afterwards to discuss any further
questions you may have from what you have read.
