The NHS is reminding people in the East of England where they can access medical treatment during the Easter Bank holiday weekend.

Patients can access quick, confidential healthcare advice on a range of common illnesses this weekend by visiting their local pharmacist. Pharmacists can also support patients in accessing the right treatment if symptoms suggest a condition is more serious.
