To avoid delays in getting your medicines this bank holiday, order your prescriptions in good time. Most GP practices ask that you order them at least three working days in advance.

You can order repeat prescriptions through the NHS App or at your GP surgery.

Supporting someone who is struggling can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what to say or do.

This helpful post from Somerset Young People’s Voice reminds us that we don’t have to carry that responsibility alone. Encouraging a friend to speak to a trusted adult, support worker, GP or mental health service can make a real difference.

Please take a moment to read and share these useful for supporting friends through difficult times.

If you or someone you know needs support, remember — help is available and no one has to face things alone.
