It’s another Bank Holiday !

08/05/2026

****Late May Bank Holiday ****

We will be closed Monday 25th May as will GP surgeries . Please remember any prescriptions ordered after Thursday 21st May will not be ready for collection until 28th/29th May as they may not be processed until surgeries reopen on Tuesday 26th.

We have an increasing number of people who make it “our problem “ and expect us to have prescriptions ready in an unrealistic time frame. We have no control over how and when GP practices process and sign off prescriptions before sending to the pharmacy.
Ordering prescriptions in advance is the patient’s responsibility not ours.

Every single prescription item has to go through a stringent process both in the GP surgery and pharmacy before it can be issued to patients .

Remember prescriptions are only part of the service we offer , with increasing demands to provide other services and to see patients for consultations that are being transferred from GP’s we ask you to please be kind and respectful of this .

We will always do our best to ensure urgent prescriptions are available as soon as possible, but please be aware there may sometimes be a delay.

Please remember to allow your pharmacy sufficient time to complete prescription requests . An approved message from the app or surgery does not mean it will be ready for collection at the pharmacy . It would also be appreciated if you could NOT ring to check if your prescription is ready to collect . Providing you have given five working days notice from ordering this will be sufficient time for prescriptions to be completed .

To make sure you have your medication for Easter, please make sure your requests are with the surgery by Wednesday 25th March 💊🐰

Anything ordered after this date may not be ready to collect before Easter.

You can order via the NHS App, on our website, or by calling our dedicated prescribing team on 01603 867532 option 3. All St Faiths Dispensary patients please call 01603 867532 option 4.
