Smart Choices This August Bank Holiday | Galway News

This August Bank Holiday, the HSE is urging folks in Galway and Roscommon to rethink ER visits—especially with sunny weather driving up hospital crowds. For non-life-threatening issues like sprains or minor cuts, head to an Injury Unit or your local pharmacy instead. These options are open late, handle common ailments, and free up ERs for critical cases. Stay sun-safe, hydrate, and use sunscreen. For urgent care outside regular hours, book ahead with Westdoc. Pharmacies can even dispense prescriptions now. If it’s truly an emergency, call 999 or 112—otherwise, choose wisely to keep the system running smoothly.
