When you are unwell and cannot wait for a practice to open its phones, book the earliest open video consultation with a NuHealth doctor — and get the prescription or sick note you need, issued digitally.
Each doctor’s card shows when they next consult — pick one who is free today and book, with no queue and no call-back.
Some doctors list evening and weekend times; whatever they offer shows on their profile as bookable slots.
For a life-threatening emergency call 10177 (112 from a cell phone) or go to your nearest emergency unit.
Open the clinician directory and choose video consultations. Each card shows when that doctor next consults; book the earliest time that suits you and join the call from your phone or computer.
If you would rather be seen in person, the same list shows doctors near you with open times today.
Fevers, flu and colds, sore throats, urinary and skin infections, rashes, stomach upsets, repeat medicine and sick notes are often managed well by video.
The doctor decides whether a video consultation is enough; if you need an examination or a test, they will tell you where to go next.
Chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, severe bleeding, a seizure, a serious injury or thoughts of harming yourself need emergency care now: call 10177 for an ambulance (112 from a cell phone) or go to your nearest emergency unit. In a mental-health crisis you can also call the SADAG suicide crisis line on 0800 567 567.
Real profiles with live availability — fees, languages and whether they consult by video.
