Medicines Order Line Update

Due to reduced staffing capacity, from Monday 15th September the telephone lines at the Medicines Order Line will be open from 8:00am – 2:00pm (previously 8:00am – 4:00pm). Please note that all other prescription ordering channels remain unaffected.

Whilst this change will initially be a temporary measure, they are experiencing reduced capacity with increased demand, therefore we are asking for your support to, where possible, to use digital ordering methods. This will help ensure that patients who are not able to order online can still access the telephone lines during the reduced opening hours. You can order medication online using the NHS app: www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/, using SystemOnline via our website and directly with the Medicines Order Line: www.derbyshiremol.nhs.uk
