Since March 2020, all prescriptions are sent to pharmacies electronically. If a patient does not usually use this system they will be asked to nominate a pharmacy of their choice.

Prescription Wastage
Every year the NHS counts the cost of unused or wasted medicines. A recent audit revealed that, for an average practice, it was estimated that £225,000 was spent on unused (stockpiled) or wasted medicines.
There are a number of steps that can be taken by patients to help reduce the amount of money we are currently wasting on medicines including:
- Only ordering repeat prescriptions for medicines you need at that time
- Check which medicines you have before ordering your prescription
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have stopped using a medicine
- Keep your repeat prescription list up to date
- Don’t hoard medicines for a rainy day or for the future
- Return any unwanted medicines to the chemist for safe disposal
