PEOPLE in south Trafford are being urged to stay well and choose well over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

This includes ensuring having enough medication to get you through the long weekend, especially anyone who has a long-term condition like diabetes or heart disease.

Dr Mark Jarvis, a Trafford GP and clinical lead at NHS Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “Ordering your essential medicines in time is important - we don’t want anyone to run out of their medication over Easter and need hospital treatment when they could be enjoying time with friends and family.”
