If someone’s condition is serious or a life-threatening emergency call 999 immediately or go to your nearest emergency department.

Some local pharmacies may have different opening hours on the bank holiday, you can use the NHS Find a Pharmacy link to find your nearest open pharmacy.

If you take regular medication, check that you have enough to last over the bank holiday weekend. You can order your medication using the NHS app, or through your GP practice, which may also have an online service.

It's always useful to have a basic self-care kit at home to manage the symptoms of minor health conditions. This can include painkillers, plasters, anti-diarrhoea tablets and anti-histamines, all of which can be bought from your local pharmacy or supermarket.
