Help with a particular health condition

You may feel that you’d find it easier to manage a health condition if you had access to some more specific information, advice, guidance and support.

There are a number of condition-specific services available to people in Paignton.

This includes services focusing on mental health and well-being as well as physical health conditions.

Links to some local services are shown below. If there isn’t anything for your particular health condition, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there isn’t any additional help and support for that condition; it may just mean that the link hasn’t been added.

There is also a lot of advice and guidance online. NHS Choices has information and further links to websites for a wide range of health conditions.

Get Health Information (on this website) also contains resources for a variety of health conditions.
