People are being reminded to order any repeat prescriptions they may need ahead of the festive season.
GP practices and pharmacies will have limited opening hours over the Christmas and New Year period, making it more challenging for people to access medicines at short notice.
To avoid this and to ensure health is not put at any unnecessary risk, people are being asked to submit any repeat prescriptions that are due for renewal in plenty of time before the festive period, to make sure there is enough time for them to be processed and dispensed. “That’s why we’re reminding anyone who may need a repeat prescription to order them well ahead of the bank holiday period and not leave it until the last minute when pharmacies and GP practices are operating with limited opening hours.
