You may have heard us asking patients to do this recently. Ordering repeat prescriptions directly using the NHS app reduces mistakes and wastage and helps you stay in control of ordering your medications.

You can easily send orders when it's convenient for you, without having to wait in a phone queue.

We can help you set this up - just ask. ☺️

It is national Apprentice week and we are celebrating ours! Lots of our staff members begin as apprentices and stay on and become dispensers/managers. Our Thurston staff ALL started as apprentices, and Georgia (pictured) is now our branch manager. Lotte and Faye also began as apprentices and have now finished their training - but remain with us in dispensing/healthcare assistant roles.
We work with Skills4Pharmacy and they get to learn on the job as well as studying.
Our new apprentice Libby is doing great!
