If you rely on regular medication, make sure you get your repeat prescription request in in good time ahead of the upcoming bank holiday.

The turn-around time for routine repeat medicines is usually 5 working days, so make sure you allow for this so you don’t run out over this period.

To get a repeat prescription, use NHS app or your GP practice's online form to make a request. Alternatively, use the repeat medication slip from your last prescription and place this in the prescription collection box at your GP practice reception.

If you’re unable to do that, contact your GP practice directly. If it is closed and you have run out, contact your local pharmacy for advice.

Please help us help you by ordering your medicines in good time.
