Finding and accessing healthcare services
We can help you to find relevant services, e.g. to register for a GP, dental services, access a physio, hearing services or for condition-specific services for COPD, diabetes etc. We can also help you find practical services like hairdressing or footcare services. Some of these will be paid-for services. We can provide information about options that are available and transport options to get to your appointments if you have mobility issues.
Nailcare services
For nail-cutting and routine footcare procedures, see our guide to find local chiropodists, including those that are able to do home-visits.
