Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 27th January 2023

Originally sent to pharmacies by NHSE in December 2022

In case you missed the email from NHSE South East in December, you can still complete your Bank Holiday opening hours using the link below.

NHS England will use the information to ensure there is enough pharmaceutical provision on these days and may direct some pharmacies to open to ensure local coverage.

This information will also be communicated to the public, NHS 111 and the Out of Hours services and be used to produce the posters pharmacies must display.

If you plan to be closed on all the bank holiday dates please still provide a declaration.

Please note that this year we have an extra Bank Holiday (Coronation of King Charles III) on Monday 8th May 2023.

Bank Holiday dates are:

Friday 7th April 2023 – Good Friday
Sunday 9th April 2023 – Easter Sunday
Monday 10th April 2023 – Easter Monday
Monday 1st May 2023 – Early May BH
Monday 8th May 2023 – Coronation of King Charles III
Monday 29th May 2023 – Spring BH
Monday 28th August 2023 – Summer BH
