Bank holiday closure

We will be closed on Monday 25th August 2025 for the summer bank holiday. We will be back open to help you as normal on Tuesday 26th August 2025.

If you’re feeling unwell and need medical help, please contact NHS 111 by calling 111 on your telephone, or visiting 111.nhs.uk. In an emergency, always call 999.

If you have a repeat prescription and your medication is due over the bank holiday weekend, please make sure to request your prescription by 20th August 2025. Repeat prescriptions take 2 working days to process. If your prescription is not about to run out, please do not request until it is due.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
