Plan Ahead with Pharmacy First: Stay Covered This Festive Season
The festive season is a time for celebration, but it’s also a busy period for postal services. With Royal Mail’s last postage dates just around the corner, it’s essential to plan ahead to ensure your prescriptions arrive on time.
Here’s how the final posting dates affect our Pharmacy First service and what you can do to stay ahead of the rush.
Royal Mail’s Last Delivery Dates
To receive your prescriptions before Christmas:
• Free fast delivery: Order by Saturday 21 December
• Tracked 24: Order by 4pm latest on Monday 23 December
Avoid Last-Minute Delays
To ensure your medication reaches you in time, we recommend booking your consultation as early as possible and opting for faster delivery options as we approach the deadlines.
Key Dates to Remember
• Christmas Eve (24 December): Normal deliveries and collections.
• Christmas Day & Boxing Day (25-26 December): No postal service.
• New Year’s Eve (31 December): Normal postal operations resume.
How We’re Supporting You
• Priority Prescriptions: We work closely with Royal Mail to prioritise prescription deliveries.
• Flexible Consultations: Book a video consultation at a time that suits you.
