Preparing for prescription needs
Over the bank holiday many community pharmacies and all GP surgeries will be closed, so the advice is to plan ahead and order repeat prescriptions as soon as possible before the start of the long weekend. You can check pharmacy opening times and find contact phone numbers here.
By re-stocking medicine cabinets, knowing when your GP practice is open and planning ahead for repeat prescriptions, you can ensure you have everything you need ahead of the bank holiday weekend. You can order your medication using the NHS App or through your GP practice, which may also have an online service.
