Choose well to get the right treatment  

If you are injured or unwell there are a number of different NHS services that you can access. If you are unsure if a service can treat your condition, just call ahead and ask.

 

 Self-care


Minor ailments such as hangovers, upset stomachs, headaches, sore throats and coughs can all be treated at home with a well stocked medicine cabinet and plenty of rest.

If you take prescription medication for a long term health condition, don’t

forget to make sure you have enough medication.

Pharmacist


Your local pharmacy provides expert advice on common health problems and many pharmacies have early and late opening hours.
