Bank Holidays

Are you prepared for the Bank Holiday?
Have You Ordered Your Repeat Prescription?
To avoid delays in getting your medicines during the bank holiday, make sure to order your prescriptions in good time.
Prescriptions can take 3-5 working days to be processed before being sent to the pharmacy.
Remember, you do not need to call your GP surgery for a repeat prescription. You can order your medications through the NHS App or through your GP practices website.
Please note, not all pharmacies are open on bank holiday and majority work reduced hours. To find out if your local pharmacy is open please click the link below.
