With the Easter Bank Holiday approaching, make sure you’re prepared!

It’s important to order any repeat medications in advance as pharmacies are extra busy around Bank Holidays and opening hours may be different.


The pharmacies listed below are expected to be open during the Easter holidays. While details are correct at the time of publishing, opening times may change, so it’s best to contact the pharmacy before visiting to confirm availability and stock.

If your chosen pharmacy isn’t listed, you can check opening times at at www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-pharmacy or by calling NHS 111.

  • Impetigo (aged 1+)

  • Infected insect bites (aged 1+)

  • Earache (aged 1–17)

  • Sore throat (aged 5+)

  • Sinusitis (aged 12+)

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (women aged 16–64)
