Here's where to find the pharmacy opening times in Northamptonshire over the bank holiday

The health service says patients can save time in the waiting room by visiting their pharmacist for confidential advice on a range of common illnesses and making sure they’ve requested repeat prescriptions using GP online services.

Professor Kiran Patel, medical director of system improvement and professional standards at NHS England, 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.

“We would also like to remind patients to order any medication they need from their GP surgery in plenty of time so they have enough to last over the bank holiday weekend.

“Patients who have signed-up to GP online services can use their smartphone, laptop, tablet or PC to request repeat prescriptions or make a GP appointment online. It’s simple to sign-up to. Patients just need to take two forms of photo ID into their GP practice.”
