The NHS is reminding people in Birmingham and Solihull where they can access expert medical treatment during the Early May bank holiday (01 May 2017).
Patients can save time in the waiting room by visiting their pharmacist for quick, confidential advice on a range of common illnesses.
Kiran Patel, Medical Director at NHS England (West Midlands), said:
“Your local pharmacy can help you with more than you might think. Pharmacists offer expert, confidential advice and treatment for many minor health problems.
“As most GP surgeries will be closed on Monday, we would like to encourage patients to order any medication they need in plenty of time so they have a good supply during the bank holiday.”
