Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service

Pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Practice.

Please allow an extra 2 working days for your pharmacy as they will need time to prepare your medications.

Your pharmacy can also order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.
