With three bank holidays in May, NHS Kent and Medway is asking people to use the right health service for them.
If you are not sure what to do or where to go when you have an urgent, but not life-threatening, condition use NHS 111 online (111.nhs.uk) or by phone.
You can also visit Stop Think Choose (www.stopthinkchoose.co.uk), which lists details on self-help, urgent treatment centres and a map of pharmacies and opening times. Pharmacy opening times for the upcoming bank holidays on Monday, 1 May, and Monday, 8 May are now available.
Patients who take regular prescription medication should also check now if they have enough to last and if not order more
