Uh oh! Our elf is looking a bit poorly and has a sore throat!

Where is our Elf today?
Comment below your answer:
1. George Eliot Hospital
2. Nuneaton Fire Station
3. Bedworth Health Centre

⚠️ But a sore throat does NOT require a trip here! Do you know where “here” is?
Our elf's best first stop should be a local pharmacy or a GP !
Pharmacists can:
✅ Offer expert advice.
✅ Recommend treatment.
✅ Sometimes even prescribe necessary medication without a GP appointment.
Help Elf get the quick care he needs!
