NHS Direct Wales website undergoes a refresh – let them know what you think

A national health advice and information service is inviting people to explore its revamped website.

The NHS Direct Wales site has undergone a makeover to be more user-friendly and fully compatible with mobiles devices.

The website allows people across the country who are feeling unwell quick and easy access to health advice whenever they need it.

Tailored services include symptom checkers, which can help you to choose what to do or who to see next if you experience common health problems like diarrhoea, hay fever, stings, dental problems, cuts or feel generally unwell.

There’s also a local health and social care services search function to enable you to find your nearest dentist, minor injuries unit, pharmacy, GP, sexual health clinic and other services.

Other updates to look out for include a pregnancy and baby guide and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender health section.

The website also has tips on losing weight, getting active, lowering your alcohol intake and giving up smoking.

NHS Direct Wales is inviting people to provide feedback on the new website, which can be found at http://www.nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk/

You can tweet feedback to @NHSDirectWales or liking the service’s Facebook page.
