GP practices in Milton Keynes will be open as normal over the Christmas and New Year period but will close on Bank Holidays. If you need to see a GP, you should telephone your practice in the first instance, where you will be sign-posted to appropriate services.

Remember that pharmacists are well placed to give advice, information and provide medicines for a number of minor illness and injuries. Some pharmacies are open on Bank Holidays and all the pharmacy opening hours are available on NHS Milton Keynes CCG’s website http://www.miltonkeynesccg.nhs.uk/news/2016/pharmacy-opening-hours-over-christmas-and-new-year/

Should you require urgent medical attention please call 111 or go to the Urgent Care Centre on the Milton Keynes hospital campus which is open 24/7, 365 days a year, or the walk-in centre at Broughton Gate Health Centre, which is open 8am-8pm daily.
