The August Bank Holiday weekend: Saturday 26th August to Monday 28 August 2023

The time leading up to Bank Holiday Weekends can be busy for the NHS. Please help us help you and order your repeat prescriptions early to avoid any complications and to make sure you have your medication for the long weekend. You can order repeat prescriptions through the NHS app, contacting your GP surgery or by visiting NHS111 online.

GP practices and pharmacies will have limited opening hours over the Bank Holiday, making it more challenging to access medicine at short notice. Waiting and using emergency or urgent services over the break puts added pressure on already busy services.

If you feel unwell over the bank holiday weekend, you can check your symptoms and get access to advice using 111.nhs.uk online.
