Free core NHS services via NHS.uk

NHS services (GP appointments, A&E, urgent care and many other clinical services) are free at the point of use across the UK; specific entitlements such as free prescriptions vary by nation (for example Scotland and Wales have no prescription charges). Free eye tests and dental care are available for certain groups (children, older people, pregnant women and some low‑income recipients). Access information, find local services and book where available by visiting the NHS website and following the ‘Services near you’ and symptom/advice pages.
