Prescription Changes from 1st October 2017

From 1 October some medicines will no longer be available on prescription. These are medicines for short term minor ailments or conditions when they can be bought from a pharmacy or supermarket at a significantly lower cost than it would be issuing the same product on a prescription.

Your local pharmacist will be able to recommend suitable products and provide self-care advice.  Further information about self-treating a range of common, minor ailments is also available on line on the NHS Choices website – www.nhs.uk

 

If you would like to make any comments on these changes please contact the Clinical Commissioning Group Customer Care Team at:

 

Jubilee House, Lancashire Business Park, Leyland, PR26 6TR; Freephone: 0800 032 2424

Home Visits

Most problems are better dealt with in the surgery. We cannot guarantee a home visit as visits can only be provided if, in the opinion of the doctor, they are clinically necessary.

If you require a home visit you must contact the surgery before 10:30am. Please provide as much information to the receptionist as possible when making your request as this will aid the doctor to decide how to deal with your request.

Visits are usually done between 12.30pm and 1.30pm on the day they are requested but if you contact the surgery after 10.30am to request a home visit it may not be possible to arrange the vist for the same day, please contact the receptionist as soon as possibe if you require a visit.
