August Bank Holiday 2024 pharmacy opening times

Date: 14/08/2024 | Category: News 2024

Patients across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West are being reminded to order repeat prescriptions in plenty of time for the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend.

Over the bank holidays, 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 at the end of this month.

For people who run out of prescription medication over the break and need an emergency supply, the advice is to go to 111.nhs.uk online which will signpost them on how to access their medication.

Pharmacy opening hours on Bank Holidays are voluntary and are, therefore, subject to change. Please check if pharmacies are open by telephone before making a journey.

If you are not sure what health service option to use, and it is not an emergency, please visit 111.nhs.uk for advice.
