- Leaving your re-order slip in the box on the right hand side as you enter the front door,

If you use Boots or the Co-op chemist to dispense your repeat prescriptions you may like to join the collection service. To take advantage of this service simply ask at reception or Boots/Co-op for a form to complete and sign. Once this has been done the form may be returned either to us or the chemist of your choice. The next time you re-order place your order as above, but please allow three working days, and the repeat prescription will be collected from us by Boots or the Co-op. The medication is then collected direct from the chemist.
