This from NHS Orkney & 𝙻𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚊 𝚂𝚔𝚊𝚒𝚏𝚎-𝙺𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 💙 is one of the clearest plans I’ve read. Obviously driven from engagement with people rather than siloed service needs - but also clear on priorities and (critically) metrics that will measure whether it’s worked or not! Bravo. ✨ Donna Hall ✨

Our symptom checkers don't replace healthcare from a medical professional, but they can save you time on the way to feeling better.

#NHSinform has a range of checkers covering a variety of conditions.
