Think ahead and be prepared for Christmas

Many GPs and pharmacies close over the Christmas and New Year bank holidays, so make sure you’ve ordered your repeat prescriptions in plenty of time to avoid running out of your medication.

You can order your repeat prescription through the NHS App or your GP’s online service if they have one. If you don’t have access to these, you can simply order through your GP practice, or your local pharmacy if your GP has set this up.

Avoid unnecessary festive stress by planning ahead and making sure your medicine cabinet is stocked up.
