May bank holiday – how to get the help you need (25 May 2026)
Over the long weekend, some GP surgeries and pharmacies may be closed or open for shorter hours. This means it may take longer to access healthcare services. Ordering your repeat prescriptions early will help you avoid any breaks in your treatment during the holiday.
