As Easter is nearly here, please consider that Friday 30 March (Good Friday) and Monday 2 April 2018 (Easter Monday) are both bank holiday days, and so some health services – such as GP surgeries and pharmacies - may have reduced opening hours over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
Take care of yourself over Easter by:
- Ensuring you have enough medication during this time.
- Planning routine GP appointments and checking operating/opening hours of your healthcare provider.
- Calling 111 or visiting your local pharmacist if you are feeling unwell, instead of waiting for the GP surgery to open again.
