It’s important to know where you can get medical help this Bank Holiday weekend.

Your GP practice may be closed on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 June, but a range of NHS services are still available depending on your medical need.

Pharmacists are trained health professionals who can provide advice without an appointment and recommend over-the-counter treatments. They can help with issues such as colds, tummy troubles, hay fever, rashes and sexual health.

To check the Bank Holiday opening times of your local pharmacy, please visit the NHS website or click here for further information.

For urgent medical advice, you can also contact NHS 111 online or call 111 free from any phone. This service is available 24 hours a day, including Bank Holidays, and after answering a few questions you will be directed to the best place to get the medical help and advice you need.

Always call 999 for life-threatening emergencies such as a stroke or heart attack.
