The Wise Men of the NHS have suggested that we go to our GP or to a pharmacist our us the NHS helpline. Unfortunately, the doctor's surgeries were closed from 23/12 until 29/12 and the local chemists were also shut over the same period. There were directions to a pharmacy c5 miles away that was only closed on Christmas Day. Only open 9 to 5. I can't comment on the helpline as I couldn't get through.
Fortunately, the woman that lives up the road is an nursing auxiliary at the local hospital so we could always ask her to look at anything serious.
