💊✨ Did you know your local pharmacy can do far more than just hand out prescriptions? Under the Pharmacy First scheme, pharmacists can now help with a range of common conditions — often without needing a GP appointment! 🙌

💬 They can offer advice, treatments and even prescribe for minor illnesses. So next time you’re under the weather, head to your local pharmacy first.

If you take regular medication it's really important you plan ahead for Christmas.

We require 48 hours to process repeat prescriptions but you should take into consideration pharmacy opening hours.

Some pharmacies may not always have your medication in stock, so we are asking patients to put their repeat prescriptions in by the 19th December to avoid these problems.

We will be closed from Christmas Day for four days, so if you take regular medication it is important you plan ahead.

We issue repeat prescriptions due within the next 7 days, so if you expect to run out between 23rd December and 29th December you should submit a request earlier.

We require 48 hours notice to issue a repeat prescription but we recommend you submit your request by the 19th December to ensure enough time to get to the pharmacy!

You can find out how to order your medication via the NHS app, online or by email here: 👇
