Get To Know Where To Go for health advice – bank holiday weekends in May
With the two bank holiday weekends coming up in May, it’s important you know where to go if you, or someone else, become unwell.
If you take regular medicines on repeat prescription, do make sure you order them at least two weeks before you expect to run out. Your local pharmacy may be open over the bank holiday – check times here, to give expert advice on minor illnesses, including over the counter medicines. For some conditions they can now issue prescription medicine if needed without a GP appointment.

- Dental – Greater Manchester Dental Helpline on 0333 332 3800, open 8am to 10pm.
