Don’t run the risk of being without your medication this next Bank Holiday. Bank Holidays may mean that more time is needed for your GP and pharmacy to process your prescriptions. Plan ahead by ordering your repeat prescriptions at least seven days in advance.

The bank holiday is approaching! If you are due to order your repeat prescriptions, the bank holiday may mean it takes a little longer. ⏰ Order 7 days in advance of when you are due to ensure you get your medication. 💊

All set to speak to @BBCRadio4 #youandyours on behalf of @rpharms about why you shouldn't hoard old medicines. Any out of date medicines should be taken to your local pharmacy for safe destruction.
