Get ready for the bank holiday weekend

24 April 2024

NHS Kent and Medway is encouraging patients to make sure they are prepared for the upcoming bank holiday (Monday, 6 May). 

The long weekend is a busy time for NHS services and it’s important to choose the right service if you are ill or injured. 

Make sure you have a well-stocked medicine cabinet at home, which should include paracetamol, cold remedies, plasters, tweezers and a thermometer.

If you have planned a trip away, pick up any prescription medications that you need in advance and take these with you. 

If you or your children are not well, get advice from your pharmacist at the first sign of feeling ill – don’t wait for it to get more serious. Use our map to view opening times.
