PRESCRIPTIONS:
Please note - Due to Heatherside being a COVID Assessment centre we are asking for patients to help us help you by doing one of the following:
- Please request your prescription online if you have the facility (we now have the option of setting the online service up over the phone if you are not signed up)
- Please arrange for your request to be dropped into the post box outside the front door at PARK ROAD SURGERY
- If you have a query please use e-consult at the bottom of this page
- Or ask your pharmacist to request it for you
PLEASE try to nominate a pharmacy (NOT Park Road Boots-Closed) where you would like to collect your medication from. This can be added to your records and your prescription can be sent electronically to save you having to pick it up. Please add a comment with your request and we can set this up for you alternatively ask your pharmacist and they can add it to your records
BOOTS 143 Park Road - PLEASE note that the Surgery has NO affiliation with Boots at all. It is our understanding that the site has been closed but we have no other information from them.
What to do if your prescription normally goes there electronically:
As far as possible we are contacting anyone who has requested a prescription in the last week and it has Boots 143 Park Road as a nomination. (we do not know what measures Boots are taking to help their customers).
ALL new requests:
PLEASE add a note to your request with a NEW nomination on or ask another pharmacist to add you to their list and add a nomination for you.
To request a prescription please follow the instructions above.
Thank you for you help with this and please know that our team is working tirelessly during these difficult times to ensure that our patients are looked after.
