Please can you share this online leaflet and web address, which lists the services available and how to use them: www.stopthinkchoose.co.uk
The Stop Think Choose website gives details of urgent treatment centres (UTCs) and shows the opening times for all pharmacies in the county.
UTCs can treat a variety of minor illness and injury. Patients can either walk-in or call NHS 111, which can book an appointment.
Pharmacists are highly trained health professionals, who are qualified to offer health advice and guidance, particularly on common problems such as headache, coughs and colds, tummy bugs and verrucas. Opening times for the Easter bank holiday are also on our website.
Please help us to help you and share these messages with your friends, family, colleagues and anyone with children or older relatives.

Beach management work to help protect the district’s coastline has begun this week.
The recycling and regrading of shingle beaches between Fisherman’s Beach in Hythe and Folkestone Harbour is carried out to guard against any risk of tidal flooding.
Cllr John Collier, F&HDC Cabinet Member for Property Management and Grounds Maintenance, said: “The enhancement of our coastal defences helps protect over 3,000 homes from flooding.
“It is essential work that helps shield the sea wall and therefore reduces the risk of flooding and coastal erosion along the 7km stretch.”
Some 110,000 tonnes of shingle are recycled at each phase – moved from east to west from the collection groynes.
This is to allow the natural process of longshore drift to spread the deposited shingle out back down the coast to increase the width of shingle from the sea wall.
These efforts recently prevented wave overtopping during Storm Eunice, protecting homes and businesses in the district from flooding.
Folkestone & Hythe District Council successfully applied for nearly £2m from the Environment Agency in 2020 to ensure the beach management work can be carried out.
The process – which has taken place bi-annually since 2004 – will take approximately eight weeks to complete and disruption will be kept to a minimum.
In preparation for the museum’s display to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Curator has asked if anyone has any photos of Street Parties in Hythe from any Jubilee in the past.
These could include photos from any Jubilee celebration of Queen Elizabeth, King George V and Queen Victoria.

Hythe Town Council recently invited proposals for a major public work of art to be installed in the Princess Diana Sensory Garden, Oaklands Park, Stade Street, Hythe, Kent.
Due to the extremely strong winds we are currently experiencing, there were several trees on the Green that had been damaged. The damage caused to these trees posed a Health and Safety risk to the public.
Hythe Town Council have undertaken the appropriate action to reduce this risk.
