Add, change and remove clinic closures

Clinic closures only apply to a series of clinics. To cancel a single clinic, see the guidance on cancelling a single clinic or clinic series.  

You can set a closure for 1 day or a longer period. You can add closures when you create a series of clinics or later by changing an existing series of clinics. 

To add closures while creating a series, find out how to create a clinic series.
