Make more time for the important things this summer. Ordering repeat prescriptions is quicker with the NHS App.

If you’re away from home, you can choose to collect from a pharmacy nearby – wherever you are in the UK. Search ‘NHS App’ and get it set up on your device.

Going away this summer? Please remember to order enough of your medication, at least five days in advance of your holiday.

Running out of regular medication where you’re unable to source more could cause serious side effects. Enjoy your holiday and request your medication early via the NHS App.

Sunburn doesn’t just happen on holiday. Even in the UK you can get burnt between March and October, so it’s important to protect your skin at home too. Use at least SPF30 suncream, cover up and spend time in the shade.

Some of our staff are stuck in traffic due to an accident on the M60 today so clinics may be running late. We will keep patients updated on arrival. Thank you for your understanding.
