The NHS is advising people in Gedling borough to order any repeat prescriptions ahead of the Easter holidays and check pharmacy opening times over the long bank holiday weekend.
Pharmacies are extra busy on the run-up to and during bank holidays and opening hours may be different, so it is recommended that any repeat prescriptions should be ordered by Wednesday, March 25 at the very latest.
The NHS app can be used to request urgent repeat prescriptions and view the status of your order. If you’re on an Easter break or day out in another part of the country, you can even arrange to collect your prescription at a different pharmacy while you’re away.
Your regular pharmacy may be operating reduced hours over the bank holiday, but some pharmacies will be open on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Bank Holiday Monday. You can check opening hours on the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire website: notts.icb.nhs.uk/your-health/pharmacy
