🍂 Autumn Bank Holiday Highland Reminder
Friday 16 October is the Autumn Bank Holiday in the Highland Council area. A little planning now can help you enjoy a healthy, stress-free long weekend.
🎃 Order and collect any repeat prescriptions you need in good time
🎃 Check your GP practice and pharmacy opening hours, as these may vary
🎃 Keep a few autumn essentials at home, such as paracetamol and remedies for coughs and seasonal bugs
If you need health advice over the holiday weekend, NHS inform and the NHS 24 App are available with self-help advice and guidance. If you need urgent medical advice and your GP practice or pharmacy is closed, call NHS 24 on 111.
☎️ Remember: call 111 before attending A&E, unless it is a life-threatening emergency.
Whatever your plans, we hope you have a happy, healthy and safe Autumn Bank Holiday.
