If you need to talk to a healthcare professional it’s important that you get the right care in the right place. See the sections below on how to access health information and advice, including details of services available over the Easter period and May public holidays.

View the different sections below for information on:

GP Practice Services

GP Practices across Forth Valley will be closed on Friday 7th April and Monday 10th April 2023 and on Monday 1st May and Monday 8th May 2023. However, a number of local pharmacies will be open on these days to provide healthcare advice and treatment. If you have a minor injury or require urgent healthcare advice but it’s not something life-threatening call NHS 24 on 111 (day or night) to help access the right services as quickly as possible. They can also arrange for you to speak to a local healthcare professional who can organise a telephone or video consultation or arrange an appointment for you to be seen at a local healthcare centre or hospital so you don’t need to wait when you attend.

I’ve also made a few changes to the tips info at the start

Pharmacy Services

A number of local pharmacies in Forth Valley will be open on the Easter and May holidays to provide healthcare advice and treatment for many common illnesses and healthcare issues.

Under a scheme called Pharmacy First, they can also provide treatment, free of charge, without the need for a prescription for a wide range of health conditions. These include urine infections, skin infections, shingles,  conjunctivitis, thrush and eczema. Pharmacists can also provide free treatment and advice for minor skin conditions  such as dermatitis and allergic reactions to insect bites, an initial three-month supply of the progestogen-only pill as well as emergency contraception.

Tick Bites

Ticks are small, spider-like creatures which feed on the blood of birds and mammals, including humans. They vary in size, usually between 1mm to 1cm long. They have either 6 or 8 legs. Tick season is usually between March and October but it may last longer. This is because wet weather and warmer temperatures make ticks active for longer in the year.

You can find information on NHS inform about how to prevent tick bites and what to do if you are bitten.

In an Emergency call 999 for health advice and reassurance call NHS24 on 111.
