The 2026 summer holidays are almost here, and we’re all excited for some relaxation and sunny weather. It’s important to remember during this busy time Medical Centres and couriers will be operating at reduced hours/days with fewer appointments available.
Patients needing a prescription between 21st December 2026 and 12th January 2027 should organise their prescription before Friday 11th December 2026 to avoid delays with their medicines.
Here are some tips and recommendations from our pharmacy team that can help you avoid delays, and ensure you have your medicines over the holiday period.
If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance please don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team via the contact us form here.
