Bank Holiday Health Advice 
Prescriptions
Don’t forget to check if you have enough prescription medication left ahead of the long weekend. It can take a couple of days for a repeat prescription to come through and you don’t want to run out.
Where to find care
During the Bank Holiday, the NHS is still busy caring for people but it is important people are aware of the best and quickest way to access care.
If anyone has an urgent healthcare need that can’t wait till the next working day, it is still possible to speak to a GP in the evening, at weekends and on Bank Holidays.
If you call your GP practice outside of office hours, you will hear a recorded message, with details of how to get in touch with a GP. This may be through contacting NHS 111.
NHS 111 online
The NHS 111 online service offers quick advice and the best options for getting the care you need. This including getting a call-back from a trained clinician or nurse, booking an appointment in A&E or providing advice on how to help you recover.
You can use the NHS App to put in a request for a repeat prescription or check your GP practice website for details of how to order a repeat prescription.
Emergencies
People should always call 999 or attend A&E in the event of a life or limb threatening emergency.
Pharmacies
High-street pharmacies can provide you with expert advice and help on a range of health issues but opening hours can change during Bank Holiday weekends.
You can use this link to find information on pharmacy opening times.
