NHS HEREFORD and Worcestershire is reminding people that it remains open for Bank Holiday Weekend.
Although, there may be a change in opening times for GP practices and pharmacies.
The bank holiday weekend is a bust time for the NHS, it is reminding people to call 111 first before 999.
An appointment isn’t necessary for pharmacies and they offer expert confidential advice.
For more information head to the Pharmacy section of the NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire website.
Dr Will Taylor, medical director for NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire said: “It’s important to plan ahead and make sure you’re fully prepared for the bank holiday weekends.
“There are a number of different things people can do to be ready, for example, collect your repeat prescription in good time, keep your medicine cabinet stocked and know which healthcare services are available to you.
“People should only be using 999 and A&E for genuine life-threatening emergencies and using NHS 111 for other care needs- or if you’re unsure about whether you should go to hospital.”
