BATCH PRESCRIPTIONS

If you are on regular stable repeat medication we have a new system which may be of interest to you. We can issue 6 months prescriptions to your nominated pharmacy and then all you have to do is go and collect your medication when you need it. No need to order until you have had the last month from the pharmacy.

There are some exceptions to this rule, we cannot batch inhalers, medication used as and when needed, controlled drugs and dressings.

Please enquire at reception if you think this may benefit you.
