Get In The Know about Local Health Services
When people need medical assistance, particularly in an urgent situation, it can be difficult to think clearly about what to do. Understandably in this situation people will head for the emergency department, which may not be the best place for them to get the treatment they need.
The Get in the Know campaign encourages people to familiarise themselves and be prepared should they find themselves needing health care. A Get in the Know website to provide local health and care information in one place has been set up and the public is recommended to take a look at services and support available – from accessing urgent care support, mental health services to support for cost of living and keeping warm. The site will signpost you to other sources of support from local partners.
