If you need healthcare over the weekend, you’ll be relieved to know that there are other options available other than going to your GP. Whether your health calls for a visit to the pharmacy or calling 111, here’s a round-up of options available to you over the Easter weekend.

How can I get medical advice over the bank holiday weekend?

Pharmacies

NHS England has released a table of pharmacies open across Nottinghamshire over the Easter weekend. The table lists the pharmacy name, address and postcode of the pharmacies open during the bank holiday.

If you want to see the exact opening and closing times for each pharmacy, use the NHS England website. Since Saturday, April 8 is not a bank holiday, most pharmacies will be open on this day.
