Postal delivery of Repeat Prescriptions and Dosett Boxes

Postal delivery of Repeat Prescriptions and Dosett Boxes

Our pharmacist colleagues in the areas have recently been struggling with sick leave and locum cover. In the short term, in order to reduce the pressure on local pharmacies, it may be helpful to use online pharmacy companies who deliver medications for free to your home. A carer, relative or neighbour can register as the delivery address if there are any concerns that the post will get lost.

Dosett boxes or pouches: due to short staff many pharmacies have stopped providing Dossett boxes or pouches as a service to their patients which is causing issues particularly for elderly people living alone who have difficulty remembering or sorting their medications
