If you need medical advice during New Year Bank holidays, some pharmacies will be open to help you across Hertfordshire and West Essex.

It’s also a good idea to stock up on general medication such as painkillers, cold/flu medications, antihistamines, oral rehydration salts, anti-diarrhoea tablets and indigestion treatments before the holiday begins. Many own brand medicines can save you money and be just as effective.
