Further resources and information about patient self help and care, including Mental Health Support, Stopping Smoking and the Minor Ailments Scheme are also available.
The NHS now also accepts a number of self-referrals directly from the patient, without the need for a consultation with your GP surgery. These include direct referrals into the Welsh Hospital Phlebotomy, Welsh Eyecare Scheme, Physiotherapy or Podiatry.
You can find Optometrists/Opticians who participate in the Welsh Eyecare Scheme here.
For information about self-referral for our Gloucestershire patients who wish to access local services, please use this link: Self Referral into MSK Physiotherapy Service > Glos Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust (ghc.nhs.uk) and English Hospital Phlebotomy.
