Self help for health pages-Information on common conditions

We have developed a comprehensive listing of local and national self-help groups.

The local helpline page lists details for organisations for the South West and Bristol area.

Go to our national helpline page for telephone numbers covering the rest of the country. This page has details of selected self-help and other groups of general interest.

If you know of a group then we may be able to add it to the page. Please email us with information or if you find that any of the information given is out of date or unhelpful. It is important that people do this as it helps us to ensure our information is as up-to-date as possible. You can find further information at www.patient.co.uk

We have also devised a page with a few helpful suggestions on how to protect your confidentiality.

Useful websites

There is an ever-increasing amount of information on the Internet about health related matters.

Much of the information is excellent but some is not and can lead to confusion and misunderstanding and could in a few cases be detrimental to health.

Connect Medical Services tries very hard to provide the best possible health care information. Qualified doctors have screened all material and listings on the site. The list of self-help organisations has not been screened and is posted in good faith.

Nevertheless, Connect Medical Services takes no responsibility for any problem arising from our links or listings. Visitors to the site are encouraged to seek help from their usual medical attendant when in doubt.
