Get in the know is a campaign created by NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to support you to get the right care as quickly as possible when you are unwell or injured. 

It can be difficult to think clearly when you have an immediate health problem, so we encourage you to get in the know (learn) about local services, before you need to know, so you know what to do more automatically and get more timely care.

Look out for information carrying the logo in the future as it will indicate useful local service information for you to learn about.

Help others 'Get in the Know'
