Bank holiday weekend: how to get the right NHS help

Some NHS services may have different opening hours this bank holiday weekend. Here's where to go for help:

💊 Pharmacy
Pharmacists can advise on common illnesses like coughs, colds, and minor infections. Search 'find a pharmacy' online to check opening times near you.

🩺 Urgent medical help
Use NHS 111 online, through the NHS App, or call 111. They can help if you're not sure what to do or need advice when your GP is closed.

🦷 Urgent dental treatment
Contact your usual dentist first. If they're closed or you don't have one, NHS 111 can help.

🚨 In an emergency, always call 999.

💊 Using antibiotics correctly helps keep them working

Antibiotics are important medicines, but they are not effective for colds and flu.

To help protect your health and prevent antibiotic resistance:
Do not take antibiotics for colds or flu
Do not save leftover antibiotics for later
Always take antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your GP, nurse or pharmacist

Using antibiotics when they are not needed means they may not work as well in the future when you really need them.

💉 Aged 75 or over? Check your vaccinations

If you’re aged 75 or over, it’s important to make sure you’re up to date with all the vaccines available to you, including the spring COVID-19 vaccine.

Vaccinations help protect you against serious illness and reduce the risk of complications.

👉 If you’re eligible, you may be invited for your spring COVID-19 vaccination.

Staying up to date with your vaccines is one of the best ways to protect your health.
