Read the leaflet for Health Direct and answer questions 21-26.
HEALTH 0769
DIRECT 4648
CALL 24 HOURS
www.healthdirect.com
What is Health Direct? Health Direct is a phone service staffed by nurses and other professional advisors, giving confidential advice and information. Many illnesses that people suffer do not necessarily warrant a visit to a doctor but people still need advice on their problems. Health Direct helps free up busy doctors and surgeries and provides free advice for people who need it. You can call Health Direct on 0769 46 48. Calls are charged at local rates.
What does the service provide? Health Direct allows you to speak directly to experienced nurses and professional advisors about your health problems or questions. Using their skills and experience, together with an extensive computer system, Health Direct can give you advice on what to do next. If your problem is more serious, Health Direct can call out an ambulance on your behalf or refer you to a doctor. If you need general information on local health services – such as late night pharmacists, out of hours dentists or support groups – or more in depth information about a particular health condition that may be worrying you or a family member, Health Direct can get you the help and information you need quickly.
IELTS General Reading Test
What happens when you call Health Direct? When you call Health Direct, a professional call handler will take your name, address and phone number. You don’t have to give this information if you don’t want to. Depending on the nature of your call, you will be connected to a nurse or health information advisor. If there is none available, you will be called back as soon as possible, depending on the urgency of your call. If you are feeling ill, you will be asked about:
* what your symptoms are (eg. headache, sickness) and when they began.
* what you have already tried to relieve the symptoms.
* any medicines you are already taking.
* any existing medical condition you already have (eg. diabetes, angina).

If you are calling on behalf of anyone else, for example a child, you will need to answer these questions for them.
Who will you speak to? Health Direct does not employ doctors and so we cannot connect you with one. We do have a large staff of experienced nurses and other professional advisors. We are constantly working with health services and local hospitals and surgeries to further train our staff in order to improve the service we can offer to the general public.
