I was recently sick and decided to look online to see if i could figure out what was wrong with me before going to the Doctors and went on the NHS Direct website as it has a tool which enables you to check your symptons and get advice on how to treat your illness.
if you do not have access to the internet you can call 0845 4647 and speak to someone who can give you the same information.
You can also get advice on the recent Swine Flu virus that was spreading around the UK and other countries.
I think this is an excellent website and i urge other people to try it instead of going to a Doctor for little illnesses which enables them to look after the really sick people.
