What Nora can help with

Four things, done well

Symptom Checker

Describe what you're feeling and Nora will help you understand your symptoms, suggest what might be causing them, and advise on the right next step — whether that's home care, a GP visit, or calling 111.

"I have a headache""I feel dizzy""My throat is sore"
Ask Nora

Medication Advice

Ask what you can take for a common condition, whether a medication is safe, or what home remedies might help — all grounded in NHS-trusted clinical information.

"What can I take for a cold?""Is ibuprofen safe?""Home remedies for fever"
Ask Nora

GP Finder

Share your postcode and Nora will give you a direct Google Maps link showing GP surgeries, pharmacies, and urgent care centres near you, alongside the NHS service search.

Appointment Help

Get clear, step-by-step instructions on how to book, reschedule, or cancel any NHS appointment — GP, specialist, nurse, or mental health. You remain in full control throughout.

Nora guides you through the process — she cannot book, cancel, or manage appointments on your behalf.
