Free NHS services and health information

NHS.uk provides free core NHS care across the UK: GP appointments, emergency care, symptom guidance, and extensive self‑care information. Many services such as GP and A&E care are available to all UK residents; some charges (eg prescriptions, dentistry, eye tests) vary by nation and eligibility (children, over‑60s, pregnant people may be exempt). Access is via the NHS website to find local GP practices, book appointments where available, use symptom checkers and read guidance on when and how to get free care.
