If you need help and it’s not a serious or life-threatening emergency, make sure you make the right call. It could be more appropriate to access your GP, visit a minor injuries unit or walk-in centre, use NHS 111 online, speak to your local pharmacist or use the NHS app. Keep 999 and A&E free for those who really need it.
Please ensure that you have collected any repeat prescriptions before a bank holiday weekend as this will really help our team.
