Handy guide to pharmacies staying open on Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day



Not all Coventry chemists will be closed over Christmas.

Health chiefs say pharmacies are often the best option when other health services, such as GP surgeries, are unavailable.

Dr John Omany, medical director at NHS England for the Arden, Herefordshire and Worcestershire area which covers Coventry and Warwickshire, said: “Your local pharmacy can help you with more than you might think.

“Pharmacists offer expert, confidential advice and treatment for many minor health problems.”

He added: “As most GP surgeries will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day we would also encourage patients to order any medication they need in plenty of time so they have a good supply during the festive period.”

Pharmacy opening hours can be found on the NHS Choices website http://www.nhs.uk along with information on walk-in centres, urgent care centres or minor injuries units.

Patients can type in their postcode on the website to find their nearest services.

Meanwhile hospital A&E departments and the 999 ambulance service should only be used in emergency, critical situations.

Call 111 if you need non-emergency medical help fast. The NHS 111 service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

Visit your nearest walk-in centre or urgent care centre for minor injuries such as a sprains, minor burns and broken bones. You don’t need an appointment.

I went a few days earlier earlier than usual to collect my repeat prescription to avoid the Xmas rush and it wasn't ready yet!
