GP or A&E? Deciding where to go

Most coughs, fevers, rashes, minor injuries and stomach upsets are best handled by a GP, which is quicker and cheaper than a hospital emergency department. Go to A&E (or call 995) when symptoms could be life-threatening: chest pain or pressure, breathlessness at rest, sudden weakness or slurred speech, a severe allergic reaction, heavy bleeding, a seizure, or a serious head injury. If you are unsure, a teleconsultation can help you decide, but do not delay emergency care.

Our guide to polyclinic vs GP vs A&E explains the differences in cost and waiting time, and 24-hour clinics in Singapore covers after-hours options.

For long-term conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma, a regular GP is usually the right place for check-ups, medication reviews and blood tests. Bring your home blood pressure or glucose readings to each visit, and ask the doctor to explain your targets. Under Healthier SG you can enrol with one clinic so your care plan and records stay in one place, which matters in a large network where you could otherwise see a different doctor at a different branch each time.
