DEADLINE: 25th SEPTEMBER 2020
Dear Member,
The Christmas holidays are coming up soon, and you need to plan how your pharmacies will open. Note the following, especially the issue regarding December 26th 2020.
- December 25th - Christmas Day (Friday - Bank Holiday)
- December 26th - Boxing Day (Saturday - NOT Bank Holiday - you will be REQUIRED to open if your pharmacy normally opens on a Saturday)
- December 27th - Sunday - you will be REQUIRED to open if your pharmacy normally opens on a Sunday)
- December 28th - Substitute Bank Holiday
All applications to change hours for December 26th 2020 need to be received by the September 25th 2020.
Fill in the required forms which have been attached and send to your local authority. If you are in London, then you will need to email england.lon-pharmacy@nhs.net
Remember that if the hours you want to change are supplementary, then you need to inform them of your decision and you will be allowed to close. On the other hand, it is up to the local authority to decide whether it wishes to grant a change to your core hours. Either way, you will need to complete the application forms attached to
this email.
Also, make sure that your DoS and NHS website entries are up to date with the most recent information.
Regards
PharmaPlus
