Remember that most GP surgeries will close over the Easter holiday weekend.  You may have to rely on your pharmacy to stock up on over the counter medicines and make sure that you've ordered the prescriptions you need in advance.

Order your prescription well in advance

Allow 7 days between ordering your prescription and collecting it from the pharmacy. Some pharmacies send text alerts to let you know when your prescription is ready. Ask your pharmacy if they offer this service.
