The practice will be closed during the upcoming May bank holidays:
- Monday 5th May 2025
- Monday 26th May 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 Monday 5th May and Monday 26th May.
Please order your prescriptions in advance, ensuring enough time for the prescriptions to be signed by a GP and processed by the pharmacy.
NHS 111
GP practice services will largely be closed over the bank holidays. If you need medical advice, please contact NHS tel:111 through the online service www.111.nhs.uk.
NHS 111 will be able to assess you and, if you should need it, book you a time slot at an Urgent Treatment Centre to make sure you can be seen safely. NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
