Guys & Gals,

Just a gentle reminder for those of you on regular medication. Repeat prescriptions have a 48 hour turn around when requested, this is extended if you collect your prescription from a Lloyds Pharmacy. It will take our medical centre up to 48 hours to produce your prescription and then fax this to Lloyds who are currently running a 4 day turn around due to raised demands due to COVID-19. please give our team as much notice as possible to help us help you and also relieve the pressure on the great service Lloyds provide.
Thank you
