• Many common illnesses such as coughs and colds can be easily treated by visiting your local pharmacist, who can offer advice on how to look after yourself with rest and over the counter treatments.

• If urgent, call the free NHS 111 number - a trained adviser will offer advice over the phone. If you need to be seen, they will be able to direct you to the best service for you to receive care.
