HASLEMERE Pharmacy is encouraging residents to be prepared and order their repeat prescriptions in good time to avoid any last-minute panic over the Christmas break.

Pharmacy manager Oormi Rahman said: “Christmas is a hectic time of the year, and it’s easy to overlook the need to order and collect your repeat prescriptions,”

“Ordering repeat prescriptions is simple. Call us on (01428) 656143 or pop into the pharmacy at Haslemere Health Centre and speak to a member of our team. We offer a free prescription collection and delivery service.”

Haslemere Pharmacy will be open on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve between 7am and 10.30pm and will be closed on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and Monday, December 28.
