PEOPLE in north 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.”

Trafford CCG has published details of opening times for pharmacies in the north of the borough (Saturday March 26 is a normal working day).

On Good Friday, March 25, Asda Pharmacy, in Barton Dock Road, Trafford Park, will be open from 11am-5pm; Conran Late Night Pharmacy, in Moorside Road, Urmston, from 9am-7pm; Sainsbury’s Pharmacy, in Golden Way, Urmston, from 7am-11pm; and Tesco Pharmacy, in Chester Road, Stretford, from 6.30am-10.30pm. On Easter Sunday, March 27, Conran Late Night Pharmacy will be open from 9am-7pm.
