To support access to palliative care medicines during the Summer Bank Holiday on Monday 31st August 2026, Central East ICB Medicines Utilisation Team has produced a list of community pharmacies across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Luton, Milton Keynes, and Peterborough that:
- Plan to be open on the bank holiday; and
- Hold agreed stocks of palliative medicines medications
The list includes pharmacy opening times which can be found here.
There may be additional pharmacies opening which are not listed. Opening hours and service provision for other pharmacies can be checked by searching via: www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-pharmacy.
Please share this information with relevant colleagues, healthcare professionals, patients and carers as appropriate to help ensure timely access to end-of-life medications during this time.
