Some pharmacies will be open over weekend. So if you are unwell over the weekend and want some advice then a pharmacy is a great place to get help. They have private rooms if needed and know when you should seek help elsewhere.

As you’re working through the Easter break to-do list, don’t forget to remind anyone staying with you that they need to bring their medication with them. It’s easy to forget when you’re packing for a trip.

If you forget or unexpectedly run out, use the 111 online emergency prescription service.
