The last time I was at a late night doctor with my daughter, he just did a Google search of her symptoms. Seriously. He Googled it. And found the page we had already found when we Googled it... And then read it to us. I'm still so thankful that I took a 4 year old out at 11.30pm for that awesome medical attention.
And yeah the NHS 24 thing was always useless. They either tell you there's nothing wrong, or basically imply that you're probably about to die and should go to hospital. From what I know of it, they basically just take some info and put it into a computer and it tells them what to do as a next step ("tell them to take paracetamol and **** off" or "tell them to run to hospital as fast as their dying legs can carry them!!")
