Local health services available this Easter

With the four-day Easter holiday fast approaching, local doctors have issued ‘egg-cellent’ advice to help you to stay well.

If you rely on regular prescription medication, check you have enough to see you through the bank holiday. If you need more, be sure to order it as soon as possible.

Many GP practices and some pharmacies will be closed on Good Friday (19 April) and again on Easter Monday (22 April).

Find details of opening times for out-of-hours GP services and pharmacies on the West Essex CCG website.

If you need medical help or advice over the weekend, call NHS 111 in the first instance. The service is available 24-hours a day.
