At Don Valley Healthcare, we are always looking for ways to improve our service and make things safer, easier and more efficient for our patients 💙

To help us do this, we’ll now be accepting prescription requests through the following convenient methods:

✅ The NHS App
✅ AccuRx – via our website (click “Contact Us Online” on the homepage)
✅ In person – complete a prescription request slip and post it into the prescription request box at any reception

These systems are securely linked to our clinical system, helping to reduce errors and improve patient safety.

📱 If you would like to order your prescription via the NHS App, please take a look at our helpful “How To” guides here on our page.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to provide the best possible care for our community 💙

‼️Important reminder to all patients‼️

From the start of February we are no longer accepting prescription requests by email.
Please submit medication requests using one of the following methods only:
✅ The NHS App
✅ AccuRx – via our website (click “Contact Us Online” on the homepage)
✅ In person – complete a prescription request slip and post it into the prescription request box at any reception
✅ If you use an external company to request e.g. Pharmacy2U, you can still use this

This change has been made because the NHS App and AccuRx are securely linked to our clinical system, helping to reduce errors and improve patient safety.

👉 We strongly recommend registering for the NHS App as soon as possible.
Guidance on how to download the NHS App is available on our website:

Thank you for your understanding 💙

February’s calendar from is all about Friendly February ❤️
 
It’s a gentle reminder for all of us to reach out and connect with the people around us this month. The Cambridge Dictionary defines friendly as “behaving in a pleasant, kind way towards someone” — simple, but powerful.
 
Let’s use February as an opportunity to be a little kinder to ourselves and to others. Small actions can make a big difference.
 
I especially love the actions on the 10th, 13th, and 21st — they really resonated with me.
 
Which actions stand out to you the most?
