Which chemists are open on Christmas Day in Reading, Wokingham and Bracknell?

Pharmacies will operate a rota during the festive season

Pharmacies will operate a rota during the festive season

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

CHEMISTS and GP surgeries will be operating a limited service over the festive bank holidays, and residents are being urged to get their repeat prescription requests in before the holidays begin.

Many community pharmacies and all GP surgeries will be closed during the bank holidays, so patients are being encouraged to make use of the NHS App to request medicines.

Once set up, prescriptions can be sent your GP practice directly to your local community pharmacy for collection or even delivery.

Many GP practices offer an online repeat prescription service via their websites, and patients who do not have online access can call their surgery to order their repeat medications.

Dr Abid Irfan, director of primary care at the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board, said: “Help yourself stay well over the Christmas and New Year holidays by making sure you have enough of your medication to see you through.

“GP practices are closed for four days over Christmas and three days over the New Year bank holiday and many pharmacies will have different opening times.”

He continued: “It’s best to order your usual medications well in advance, especially if you’re going away. And you can also help by checking with more vulnerable family members, friends and neighbours that they have the medications they need.

“If you do run out of your medication, NHS 111 online can offer advice on how to get an emergency supply. But it’s always best to be prepared.”

There is more information about how to get the App at https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/.

Opening times of pharmacies during the Christmas and New Year bank holidays can be found on the NHS website https://www.england.nhs.uk/south-east/our-work/pharmacy-opening-hours/
