10 Isle of Wight pharmacies will be open at different times across the Easter bank holiday period.
The pharmacies listed below should be open as shown. Please note the different dates and opening times, as they vary.
Dr Michele Legg, a GP and the clinical director for the Island for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, has said:
“Pharmacists are experts in medicines who can help you and your family with minor health concerns, offering you a fast and highly-efficient service.
“As highly qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.
“And if they feel they are not the most appropriate professional to deal with your health concern, they are excellent at being able to signpost you to those who can.”
Details are correct at the time of publishing but are subject to change. You are advised to contact the pharmacy before attending to ensure they are open and have the medication you require.

Thank you to Yarmouth Pharmacy which is always open every day of the year – except – possibly Christmas Day.
Amazing and truly grateful.
No wonder Mr Gibbs was awarded Freedom of Yarmouth – he deserves it.
what about ventnor must all be healthy??
Crazy that bin collections still happen on a bank holiday yet you can’t get vital medication
There is a reason, major cuts in NHS funding are leading to Pharmacy closures, coupled with the fact that there is a severe shortage of registered Pharmacists, who take five years to qualify for registration with the G.Ph.C..
It is a problem only the government can solve by improving the NHS contract for Pharmacies and funding more university places.
It is further exacerbated by Pharmacists being required to provide more and more services to the NHS without the workforce growing to keep pace.

Thanks gawd for that! I wus wunderin where to get me meth from.
