Public holiday arrangements were already in place for Monday 19 September 2022 prior to the announcement of Her Majesty’s funeral, due to the regional public holiday in Lothian.
This means that there are no further changes to our service plans this day. Elective surgeries have not been scheduled for Monday and the majority of outpatient clinics will be closed, as originally planned.
Any clinic appointments that were already scheduled with NHS Lothian will go ahead.
As per standard public holiday arrangements, GP practices and many community pharmacies will be closed. We’d encourage anyone who needs a prescription to make arrangements to collect this before the weekend.
If you’re booked in for a flu jab and/or a COVID-19 winter booster at a local pharmacy, the pharmacy should contact you directly if there are any changes to your appointment.
No winter vaccination appointments have been scheduled in community clinics for Monday, but some staff clinics will still be taking place on our sites.
If you need urgent medical care over the bank holiday weekend, please contact NHS 24 on 111 for advice and help us keep A&E free for critical emergencies. Thank you in advance.
