Subject: Important: Order your repeat prescriptions before the August Bank Holiday ⏰
Dear Patient,
With the Summer Bank Holiday fast approaching on Monday, 31 August 2026, we want to make sure you have all the regular medications you need to stay safe and well over the long weekend.
GP surgeries and local pharmacies will be closed on the Bank Holiday Monday. Due to high demand before the long weekend, processing and dispensing will take longer than usual.
🗓️ Important Ordering Deadlines
Please mark these dates on your calendar to ensure your prescription is ready on time:
Latest Order Date: Friday, 21 August 2026
Final Collection Date: Friday, 28 August 2026 (Before 5:00 PM)
Why order early? It takes at least 7 working days to process, sign, and dispense repeat prescriptions during holiday periods.
💻 How to Order Your Prescription
You can request your repeat prescription quickly and easily using:
The NHS App (Fastest & most convenient)
Our Online Practice Portal
In-Person (Drop your tear-off slip into our prescription box)
🆘 Need Emergency Advice Over the Holiday?
If you run out of essential medication or require urgent medical advice while the surgery is closed:
Visit 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for guidance and emergency supplies.
Check online for local out-of-hours late-night pharmacies.
Thank you for helping us keep services running smoothly for everyone!
Warm regards,
The pharmacy team
