Choose the right NHS service this Bank Holiday
If you need medical help during the Bank Holiday weekend, please choose the right healthcare service to get the care you need and to enable the NHS to help the greatest number of people.
If your injury or illness is not life-threatening, please use:
Pharmacies for expert advice on conditions such as headaches, aches and pains or an upset stomach. Pharmacies may be closed or have different opening times over the Bank Holiday - find out which local pharmacies are open near you, so you can get the medicines and advice you need.
Urgent Treatment Centres for minor conditions such as sprains, strains, broken bones, minor burns and wounds - contact 111 for a timed appointment or just turn up (however, you may wait longer than if you had a timed appointment). UTCs are open every day, including Bank Holidays and can be found at:
Gosport War Memorial Hospital, 8am-10pm
Petersfield Hospital, 8am-8pm
St Mary's Hospital, 8am-8pm
Visit 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for urgent medical help that isn't an emergency, or if you're not sure where to go - advisers can offer help and direct you to the right service.
Only call 999 or attend the Emergency Department (ED) for life-threatening or serious emergencies.
