GP Practice opening details for May Public Holiday 2025

All GP surgeries will be closed on the May day Public Holiday – Monday 5 May, but in an emergency you can contact a GP in the same way as routine evening/weekend cover. If you are ill when your practice is closed and can’t wait until it reopens, you should call NHS 24 on 111.

Please plan ahead and only order the medication you need to cover the May public holiday. You can find more helpful tips on NHS Inform https://www.nhsinform.scot/campaigns/prepare-for-spring/
