Transition
Thinking ahead to when you or your young person are no longer in Secondary Education, support is still available through NHS services.
The following gives information to support in your transition to accessing these services independently.

What GPs help with
GPs deal with a whole range of health problems. They also:
- Provide health education
- Offer advice on smoking and diet
- Run clinics
- Give vaccinations
- Carry out simple surgical operations
- Provide Sexual Health Services e.g. contraception.
They usually work in GP practices or health centres as part of a team, which includes nurses, healthcare assistants and other staff.
They also work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as health visitors, midwives, mental health services and social care services.
Make an appointment
You probably already know where you go to see your GP but now is the time to find out for yourself how to book an appointment and what services your Practice offers.
Once you have identified your practice it would be a good idea to bookmark it as you will have options for different ways to access your GP.
