Dear Patients, With the August Bank Holiday coming up, please ensure that you have enough medication to last you over the Bank Holiday weekend. Should you need to seek advice whilst we are closed, please ensure you Choose Well: http://www.choosewellwales.org.uk/home

Your local pharmacist should be your first port of call for minor ailments and they can offer a wide range of help and advice. Next time you are not feeling very well pop along to your local pharmacy and ask for a #choosepharmacy appointment where they can give free NHS treatment (prescription). Often you can be seen there and then without the need to take up a GP appointment 👍. #ChooseWell https://youtu.be/CTp_oWy_Uqg
