Various pharmacies will be open over the bank holiday to allow people to collect prescriptions and buy over the counter medicines. The long weekend brings with it a number of changes to
local services, including in the NHS. For anyone who finds themselves in need of medicines on Monday (May 26), however, there are still options. A number of pharmacies are set to be open in
Leicester and the districts and boroughs on the bank holiday so you can buy what you need. The local integrated care board (ICB) has said pharmacies will also be open as normal on Saturday
(May 24) and Sunday (May 25). Under the Pharmacy First scheme, many pharmacies also now offer treatment and prescription medicine for some conditions, without needing to see a GP, giving
patients another option. READ MORE: May bank holiday bin collections in Leicester, Blaby, Melton, Harborough, Charnwood, Hinckley, Coalville, Ashby, Oadby and Wigston For all urgent health
needs over the bank holiday weekend, people are advised to use NHS111 online or they can phone 111 or use the NHS App. Going through 111 will allow residents to be advised on where is the
right place to see their needs met and keep waiting times down, the ICB said. The 999 service and the emergency department should only be used for urgent, life-threatening medical situations
where emergency assistance is required. People with a mental health emergency can also call 111 for advice. YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF OPEN STORES BROKEN DOWN BY AREA BELOW: LEICESTER * Asda
