A message from the Norfolk & Waveney NHS pharmacy commissioning team. A number of community pharmacies will be open over Xmas to provide access to medicines, advice and urgent support.

We are writing to share information on community pharmacy opening times across Norfolk and Waveney during the winter bank holidays for Christmas Day (25 December), Boxing Day (26 December) and New Year’s Day (1 January).

A number of community pharmacies have been commissioned to open on these dates to provide access to medicines, advice and urgent support when many other services are closed.

The attached poster shows the commissioned pharmacies and their opening times.

Please note that, in addition to those listed on the poster, some other pharmacies may choose to open voluntarily over the winter bank holiday period. The most up-to-date information will be available via NHS Find a Pharmacy.
