Health and social care organisations in Derbyshire have been working closely together for some time, to improve care and services for people and make them as efficient and effective as possible.
The Derbyshire Medicines Order Line has extended the period during which patients can order their prescriptions ahead of the Jubilee Bank Holiday in June. This year, the country is celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with an extra Bank Holiday on Friday, June 3. This has been paired with the traditional Spring Bank Holiday on Thursday, June 2, which means some NHS services may be closed on both days before the weekend.
The NHS is here to help you over the May bank holiday – so make sure you know your services to get the care you need.
Anybody who needs medical advice or to visit a pharmacy over the Easter bank holiday should plan ahead to allow for reduced GP and pharmacy provision over this period. GP practices will generally be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday, so will not be making appointments for in-person or telephone consultations on those days. Anyone who needs non-urgent advice should call 111.
