and live on Freeview channel 276
Many people think that health services close over the festive period but there are still plenty available if you fall unwell over Christmas.
Despite what some people believe GP practices are only closed on the three bank holidays; Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day and open as normal the rest of the time. To help meet the demand more appointments are being added to the evening and weekend service so if you require a routine appointment with GP services you can request one of the appointments over the weekends between 8am-8pm.

Dr Adam Janjua, a local GP and chair of NHS Fylde and Wyre CCG said: “Health services don’t stop over Christmas with thousands of health professionals coming to work across the Fylde Coast while other people are tucking in to their turkey.
“Although GP practices and some pharmacies close on the Bank Holidays we make sure there are services available if you need them. But we do have to ask people to try to keep them free and only use the urgent and emergency services if it really is an emergency.”
