With the Bank Holiday coming up, it's a good time to check you have enough of any essential medications to get you through the long weekend, when GP surgeries will closed.

We require up to 5 working days to process prescriptions and dispense mediation for our dispensing patients.

If you are a non dispensing patient your local pharmacy may not be able to dispense the medicine straight away depending on how busy they are and what they have in stock, so please plan accordingly when ordering your mediation via the practice as we take 1-2 full working days to issue your prescription.

The NHS App makes it quick and easy to request your medications any time.
