The practice will be closed during the upcoming Easter bank holidays:

-       Friday 18 April 2025

-       Monday 21 April 2025

The NHS is still here to help you, so make sure you know your services to get the care you need.

Prescriptions

Please remember to order and collect any repeat prescriptions as soon as you can so you and your family have enough medicine over the bank holidays. Most pharmacies will be closed during the bank holidays meaning you may not be able to pick up a prescription at short notice.

The Medicine Order Line will be closed on Good Friday (18 April) and Easter Monday (21 April). 

Please order your prescriptions in advance, ensuring enough time for the prescriptions to be signed by a GP and processed by the pharmacy.

Community pharmacy services over the bank holiday

Some community pharmacies will be open over the bank holidays. Please check this website for pharmacy opening times. Alternatively, you may wish to visit your pharmacy website or call them for more information.
