Order Prescriptions Early: Christmas and New Year Opening Times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At busy times like Christmas and New Year, planning ahead is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t help wrap the presents or stuff the turkey, but we can help keep you healthy this Christmas. Our most important message is to order prescriptions early.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Opening Times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All the Bank Holidays fall in the middle of weeks this festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won’t be closed for more than 2 days at a time. But we will expect to be very busy on the days we are open.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order Prescriptions Early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The quickest and easiest way to request a repeat prescription is with the NHS App.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, we’d say to allow at least three full working days from request to collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at such busy times, please reorder as early as you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can send your request through the NHS App at any time. You don’t need to wait for us to be open. Requesting a prescription in the NHS App takes just a few taps, so don’t put it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
