⏰ Please Order Your Prescriptions on Time

We’d like to remind our patients to order repeat prescriptions at least 7 days before you run out.

We will be closed from Thursday to Sunday next week, and we are currently extremely busy with:
β€’ High prescription volumes
β€’ NHS and private services
β€’ Increased flu vaccination appointments

Ordering early gives your GP surgery and pharmacy enough time to process prescriptions and order items in.

πŸŽ„ Important Christmas Reminder
If you would like to receive your medications before Christmas, the last day to order your prescription is TODAY. Please do not leave it too late, as we may not be able to process late requests in time.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this very busy period.

πŸŽƒπŸ‚ Plan Ahead for the Busy Season! πŸŽ„πŸ”₯

Halloween, Bonfire Night, and Christmas are all on the way… and it’s about to get busy for everyone, including your pharmacy.

To be sure you have the medicines you need, please order your repeat prescriptions at least 5–7 days before you run out.
This gives your GP surgery and Minerva Clinical Services time to process and stock your items, so you’re not left waiting.

With the Heyford Park community growing, we are busier than ever, so we want to make sure every prescription is ready on time.
βœ… Order early
βœ… Avoid last-minute stress
βœ… Enjoy the celebrations πŸ‚πŸπŸŽ’β˜•πŸŽƒπŸ‘»πŸ•ΈοΈπŸ•·οΈπŸ§›πŸ§™β€β™€οΈπŸŽ†πŸŽ‡πŸ”₯πŸ§¨πŸ¦ƒπŸ½οΈπŸ₯§πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ€ΆπŸ¦Œβ„οΈπŸŽβ­πŸŽ‰πŸ₯‚πŸΎπŸŽŠπŸ•›
