Patients across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West are being reminded to order repeat prescriptions in plenty of time for the early May bank holiday (Monday 1 May).
Over the bank holiday, many community pharmacies and all GP surgeries will be closed, so the advice is to plan ahead and order repeat prescriptions as soon as possible in time for the bank holiday.
A list of some local pharmacies open on the bank holiday Monday across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West can be found on the NHS website see here or visit https://www.england.nhs.uk/south-east/our-work/pharmacy-opening-hours/
For people who run out of prescription medication during the bank holiday and need an emergency supply, the advice is to go to https://111.nhs.uk/ online which will signpost them on how to access their medication.
Dr Abid Irfan, director of primary care at Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board, said: "Help yourself stay well over the early May bank holiday by making sure you have enough of your medication to see you through. Order your repeat prescription well in advance, especially if you're going away.
"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."
