Before reordering your repeat prescription, take a moment to check what you already have at home.

If you’ve still got enough medicine, there’s no need to order more just yet. Only ordering what you need is safer for you, as medicines can go out of date if kept for too long.

If you are not using some of your medicines, speak to us about a medication review.

They can help make sure your prescription is right for you.

When it comes to repeat prescriptions, only order what you need.

Our statement on the incident in (23.03.2026) 🔽

Jason Killens KAM, Chief Executive at London Ambulance Service, said:

“Our thoughts are with all those affected by the shocking attack on Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green.

Antisemitism has absolutely no place in our society and we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community in the wake of this horrific attack on our long-standing partners at Hatzola.

“This morning, we have offered a loan of four ambulances so their highly trained volunteers can continue to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day. We stand ready to provide additional practical support should they need it at this difficult time."
