Patients who urgently need medication can also request it through NHS 111 or access another pharmacy.
Anyone experiencing a life-threatening emergency should call 999.
The practice said: “We are sorry to let patients know that Grimston Medical Centre, including the dispensary, is temporarily closed due to extremely difficult circumstances affecting our practice team.”
