Monday 27 August 2018 bank holiday weekend message

Published: 22/08/2018
It’s a bank holiday this weekend, so please consider that on Monday 27 August some health services – such as GP surgeries and pharmacies - may have reduced opening hours.

Take care of yourself this bank holiday 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.


Our Trust opening times
Our Trust’s offices will be closed from 5pm on Friday 24 August until 8am on Tuesday 28 August 2018.
