With the August bank holiday approaching people across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West are being reminded to order repeat prescriptions in plenty of time for the long weekend.
Some community pharmacies and all GP surgeries will be closed during the bank holiday, so patients are advised to order their repeat prescriptions as soon as possible.
Dr Abid Irfan, director of primary care at the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board, said: "Help yourself stay well over the August 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."
Opening times of pharmacies during the August bank holiday can be found on the NHS website pages below:

For urgent medical advice when the GP surgery or pharmacy is closed, go to NHS 111 online or call NHS 111 for the most appropriate local services for your needs.
