The NHS in Kirklees is reminding people that the NHS is still here for you this bank holiday.
GP practices in Kirklees will be closed on bank holiday Monday, 30 August, but health professionals are still here to help.
For non-urgent, minor conditions, community pharmacists can give advice on over the counter medications and treatments. A number of fully trained pharmacy teams will be available throughout the bank holiday weekend and should be your first point of call for any minor health condition. You can find your nearest open pharmacy using the NHS pharmacy finder tool.
NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including the entire bank holiday weekend for more urgent health concerns. The service is also available online as well as by phone.
People are reminded to only go to their local A&E department or dial 999 for critical or life-threatening situations.
Mental health support and guidance is just a phone call away. Anyone registered with a GP in Kirklees can call 0800 183 0558 for support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Carers, or those concerned about a loved one or friend, can also call for advice.
