Those with urgent medical issues can call NHS 111 to speak to a fully trained adviser, 24 hours a day. Advisors can connect callers to a nurse, emergency dentist or GP and can arrange face-to-face appointments.
Local residents are also reminded to stock up on repeat prescriptions before the weekend but if you do need to visit a pharmacy, a full list of their opening hours over the August bank holiday can be found on the right. Pharmacists are a great resource and can help with a wide variety of minor health issues.
If you have an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.
Accident and emergency departments are for seriously ill people with life threatening conditions, so we would encourage you to use alternative health services if the issue isn’t an emergency.
