Happy Holidays sign

You can still email us at admin@healthwatchthurrock.org or use our online have your say form to tell us about your experiences at any time.

Some of your usual NHS services will be closed or running reduced hours from 24 – 27 December and from 31 December – 2 January, as services shut for Christmas and New Year. There are, however, still options available if you are unwell and need support.

NHS 111
NHS 111 operates 24/7, including on Christmas Day and all bank holidays. You can call them for free on 111 or visit www.111.nhs.uk. They can offer advice and information, and help you find the right service for your needs.

Your local pharmacy
Many local pharmacies will be closed or operating reduced hours throughout this period, but there are still some pharmacies in Thurrock that you can visit if you want to speak to a pharmacist about any health concerns.

You can use the "Find a Pharmacy" NHS website to find a service that is open when you need it: nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy; you can also ring 111 and they will be able to provide this information.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
With thanks from the Healthwatch Thurrock team
