Holiday medication ordering guide

Please wait for the text before collecting!

Medication orders at this busy time of year are prioritised by when the medication is due, not when it was ordered.

Key Ordering and Collection Dates:

  • Orders placed before 18th December
    • Will be ready and texted by 23rd December
  • Orders placed 18th–23rd December
    • Will be ready 29th/30th December, unless marked urgent or given a required collection date. Please only request pre‑Christmas collection if essential.
  • Orders placed from 24th December onwards
    • Will be ready after New Year, unless marked urgent

A gentle festive ask

If the bank holiday closures don’t affect your supply, please order as normal. This helps keep our workload steady and prevents a Christmas Eve rush.

For the Jet‑Setters

If you’re travelling:

  • Clearly mark your request as early or 2‑month supply
  • Tell us exactly when you need to collect
    This helps us prioritise appropriately.

Thank you

We hope this clarifies when to order medication over the festive period. Many thanks, and a Merry Christmas with best wishes for 2026! – from all of us at Kintbury & Woolton Hill Surgeries
