在春季银行假日到来之前，请提前考虑您的健康状况。
当地居民被鼓励在五月的第三个银行假日周末（5月27日至29日）之前提前考虑自己的健康需求。.
Dr Joanne Medhurst, Chief Medical Officer for NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB, said:
“With another bank holiday around the corner, GP practices will be closed over the long weekend and many pharmacies will have reduced opening hours.
“We’re reminding people to check their repeat prescriptions and order more ahead of the bank holiday if they need to. It can be done easily online or via the NHS App without needing to visit a GP practice.
“Now that the weather is improving and we’re spending more time outside, it’s also important to take some quick steps to stay well. By wearing sunscreen, avoiding tick bites and ensuring you have antihistamines for hay fever, you’re putting yourself in the best position to enjoy spending time outdoors.
“Bank holidays are normally a busy time for health and care services. Local people can play their part to support services by only using 999 and A&E for genuine life-threatening emergencies and using NHS 111 online or by phone for other urgent care needs or if you’re unsure about whether you should go to hospital.”
