Strathesk Medical Practice

30/03/2026

With the Easter weekend approaching we would like to remind patients that Good Friday and Easter Monday do NOT count as a working day.
This means that prescription requests will take longer to get to your nominated pharmacy.
The admin team WILL NOT be chasing requests within this timescale so please allow enough time before trying to collect.
As always, please contact your nominated pharmacy in the first instance as we expect call volumes to increase over the Easter period.
Thanks,
The Strathesk Team.

You can contact NHS 24 on 111 for medical assistance while we are closed.
Please always dial 999 in the event of a life threatening emergency.
