📢 Latest News

We’ve recently introduced new email and text notification services to keep you better informed about your prescriptions 💊

👉 Collection patients
You’ll receive an email when your medication is ready to collect in the pharmacy.

🚚 Delivery patients
You’ll receive text message updates throughout the day:
• When your delivery is scheduled
• When it’s out with the driver
• When it has been delivered

This service is still in the process of being rolled out, so not all patients will receive notifications just yet.

Next time you’re in the pharmacy make sure we have an up to date email and telephone number for yourself for these alerts.

Thank you for your patience while we improve our services 💚
