With the Easter Bank Holiday once again upon us, there is a little uncertainty about which pharmacies you can access on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
The NHS is reminding people they can still access urgent care over the four day weekend, regardless of whether GP practices are closed. If you are in need of urgent help that is not an emergency you should use the dedicated NHS 111 service online or call NHS 111 if you can’t get help online.
NHS 111 is staffed by trained professionals who provide instant triage over the phone and can arrange face-to-face appointments with an out of hours GP or hospital if needed. When someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk, people should always call 999 immediately, just as they normally would.
