Health advice and information

It's important to look after yourself. Don't assume that because you are getting older that any changes in the way your body looks and works are due to your age.

If you notice any changes in your body or things don't seem to work the way they used to, check it out with your doctor or nurse, or contact NHS Direct for confidential advice, or visit the NHS Direct website.

NHS Direct is a 24 hour nurse-led helpline which can give advice and information over the phone at anytime and will refer you to a doctor if necessary.

Remember you are never too old to get the right treatment.
