Christmas Period 2025-2026 Community Pharmacy Opening Hours Door Posters

Please ensure you visit the NHS England Regional website, where you will find door posters to display the opening times for community pharmacies over the Christmas period.

Please display the appropriate poster in a prominent place where members of the public can see it, even when you are closed. We are only publishing door posters on days pharmacies are commissioned to open.

Please can we also ask pharmacies to use the generic door poster for their own premises too. A box has been provided to state your own opening times for all 3 days during the Christmas period. This will be the most accurate way of providing up-to-date information to the public.

Community pharmacy contractors are again urgently reminded of the Terms of Service requirement to ensure they verify and, where necessary, update the information contained in their NHS DoS Profile by going to the NHS profile manager

If you have not done so, please can pharmacies check their NHS Profile Manager and update their opening hours relating to the Christmas period as a matter of urgency.
