If your child's condition is not an emergency

Community Pharmacies:
You can visit your local pharmacy if you feel unwell. Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals. They can give you medicines you can buy without a prescription, medicines you have a prescription for, advice on minor illnesses, and can tell you if you need to see a GP.

GPs and GP Out-of-Hours Services:
GPs are running additional clinics during this time of high pressure. If you urgently need to see a GP outside their clinic hours, you can contact your local GP out-of-hours service.

Children’s Urgent Care (by appointment)
CHI at Connolly treats children with minor injuries and illnesses that are not life-threatening and do not require a visit to the Emergency Department (ED). The urgent care service is by appointment only.

For healthcare professionals

GPs may refer patients to Emergency Departments if conditions are serious or life-threatening.
