Core NHS services and information via NHS.uk

NHS.uk is the official gateway to free NHS care in the UK, including access to GP appointments, A&E and urgent care, NHS 111 guidance, and many mental‑health services. Some items are country‑specific or age‑based (for example prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and there are exemptions in England; free NHS eye tests are available for children and people over 60; some dental care is free for under‑18s and pregnant people). Anyone resident in the UK can use the site to find services, book or contact local NHS providers and get self‑help information at https://www.nhs.uk.
