Get ready for summer Posted or Updated on 12 Jul 2024

NHS Kent and Medway is encouraging parents and carers to know where to go for medical help during the school summer holidays.

The school break can be a busy time for the NHS and it’s important that people choose the right service if they are ill or injured.

Pharmacists can help with a number of common health conditions such as sore throats, colds and bites. Use our map to find pharmacy opening times.

Urgent treatment centres and minor injuries units are equipped to diagnose and deal with many of the most common ailments people attend emergency departments for, including sprains, minor burns, and minor illness. Find details about urgent care services on our website.

During periods of hot weather, people are being advised stay in the shade, especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30, a hat and light clothes.

Parents can download the NHS toolkit for primary school children (EXTERNAL PDF LINK) to find useful information about NHS services and common childhood health issues.
