August bank holiday pharmacy opening times can be found below

Pharmacists can help address minor health issues such as an ear infection, UTI or an insect bite. They can offer one-on-one, confidential consultations for you and your family. More information on other minor conditions your pharmacist can help with can be found on the NHS website.

If you take prescription medication, be sure to order any repeat prescriptions in advance. It’s generally recommended to order repeat prescriptions seven days before they are needed.

If you’re planning to go away for the weekend, don’t forget to pack your prescription medicine.

Pharmacists

Pharmacists are experts in medicines who can help you with minor health concerns. As qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.

Pharmacists have the right training to make sure you get the help you need, they will tell you if you need to see a GP, nurse or other healthcare professional.
