If you need medical attention over the Bank Holiday weekend, make sure you get the right care first time.

The 111 service can help you but in emergencies call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

For minor ailments this bank holiday weekend, use your local pharmacy.

They offer a lot more than just a place to collect a prescription - they can advise you on how to treat a variety of minor illnesses or conditions.

Search your nearest pharmacy: nhs.uk/find-a-pharmacy

We hope you're looking forward to the first May #bankholiday weekend. 🌞

Whether you're in the garden 🌻, doing DIY at home 🔨 or exploring the #SouthWest 🗺️, our teams will be working hard to help keep you safe!
