Make The Right Choice This Bank Holiday

Patients are being urged to make the right choice over the May Bank Holiday and school holidays next week.

NHS services will be available throughout the bank holiday weekend, but health and care leaders are urging people to help us to help you by making sure you use the right one for your needs.

Many minor ailments are easily treated at home, so start by asking a pharmacist what can be kept in a home medicine cabinet and pick up basics like paracetamol and antihistamines while the shops are open.

If you need care right away during the bank holiday weekend, including emergency dentistry, you can contact NHS 111 online or by phone for immediate advice and guidance.
