www.nhs.uk is a website which makes life easier. It can tell you how to find out about services the NHS has to offer and is quick and straightforward to use. If you need to find a dentist, GP practice, hospital, optician, pharmacy or walk-in centre near you or, if you are away from home and need emergency treatment, near to where you are staying, look no further. It provides free, basic information such as addresses, maps and contacts in a layout that is clear and easy to understand.

You can check on how long you may have to wait for hospital treatment and what star rating a hospital has under 'Performance'.
