Update. Please expect longer waiting and processing times [ 3-5 working days) in the following weeks as we are working very short staffed while staff taking annual leaves.
In addition to dispensing +3-400s of prescriptions each day for our regular 5000+patients from 10 different surgeries , we're dealing with numerous tourists, providing various services while facing frequent supply issues or delivery problems.
Please remember to order your repeat scripts preferably on your NHS App or simply drop your repeat slips directly to your surgery.
The less phone calls we receive the faster and safer we can process your prescriptions.
Please note that if you received a text from your surgery that your medication is ready - it only means that your doctor signed your prescription and it has just been sent to the pharmacy.
It will then go through numerous steps and hours or days until it will actually be ready for collection.

Wishing you all a healthy and relaxing summer.
Appreciate your support.
Team Victoria

Please expect longer processing times. The bankholidays mean we have to dispense 6days prescriptions in 4 days.If your Gp Sent us your prescription it doesn't necessarily mean it will be ready on the same day. Also please understand that we don't have capacity to answer phone calls while we try to safely dispense your prescriptions and serve the long queue of patients in the pharmacy.
Thanks for your patience.
Ps. The photo demonstrates just about 1h of our download today. We downloaded 965 items in 9hrs today.

Tax credit payments made by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are ending on Saturday 5 April 2025. After this date, people who hold a tax credit exemption certificate will no longer receive automatic entitlement to free NHS prescriptions under the ‘Tax Credit exemption certificate’ category as it will no longer be a valid prescription charge exemption reason.

People receiving tax credits are being moved to Universal Credit. It is important to note that Universal Credit does not automatically entitle patients to help with their health costs. To continue being entitled to free NHS prescriptions, patients must meet the Universal Credit criteria for help with health costs or qualify under another valid exemption reasons. More information can be found on the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) website following the QR code below.

Please collect your prescriptions in a timely manner!(5-7dys)
As you can imagine, it's quite a nightmare to find your bags if some of our 5000+ patients don't collect for weeks or months. Our shelves and 2 fridges are full and can't hold anymore.
Also, it's a financial burden what pharmacies can't afford at the moment, so please only order if you really need them and will collect them promptly!
Thanks.
