To prevent medicine waste, we are joining the NHS on their campaign encouraging people to ‘Only Order What You Need’.

The NHS spends an estimated £300m on unused medicines each year. We need your help to reduce this.

Medicines waste happens when too much medication is ordered that isn’t needed, medicine is stockpiled at home or prescriptions aren’t checked before leaving the pharmacy.

We want to remind people how important it is to check what medicines they have at home before placing their repeat prescription order. With the support of our people and communities, we can reduce medicine waste, prevent supply pressures, and ensure the right medication is available for those who need it most.

People are advised to:

Plan ahead – Check their medicines before ordering repeat prescriptions
Only order what they need – even if it’s on their repeat list
Speak to our pharmacy team if they have questions or need support.
Unused or out-of-date medicines can be returned to any pharmacy for safe disposal.

Due to the current UKHSA influenza forecast, from Monday 8th December 2025, we politely request that patients consider wearing a mask if they attend the surgery with respiratory symptoms such as a cough or cold.

With many thanks for your consideration

📣 Important Notice from Malmesbury Pharmacy

As we approach the festive period, we kindly urge all patients to request their repeat prescriptions in plenty of time.
Both the pharmacy and local GP surgeries will be extremely busy over the coming weeks, with fewer working days and increased demand.

By ordering early, you help us ensure that everyone receives their medication safely and promptly — allowing us all to enjoy a smooth and stress-free festive season.

🎄 Let’s support one another and enjoy the festive period together.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
