Pharmacies are part of the NHS family and the range of clinical services they provide has expanded significantly in recent years.

Pharmacists are experts in medicines who can help you and your family with minor health concerns when we are closed. As qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.

Not sure where your local pharmacy is? Use the pharmacy finder on NHS uk.

In addition, NHS England - South West have created links to maps so you can visually see what pharmacies are open during the Bank Holiday dates. Visit the NHS England website  - South West website here>>
