📢 Important Update About Ordering Prescriptions

As many of you will already know, POD is closing next week.

To help keep things running smoothly, we’re asking all patients who are able, to order their repeat prescriptions through the NHS App. It’s quick, convenient, and the easiest way to manage your medication.
👉 You can download the NHS App and find a helpful guide here:
https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/nhs-app-help-and-support/

If you need help downloading or setting up the app, please pop in and speak to our reception team — we’re more than happy to support you.

We also have a new green prescription box located outside the surgery for anyone who prefers to drop their repeat slips in.

We also have a dedicated repeat prescription email address: stw.prescriptionscbs@nhs.net
Please only use this if you are unable to use the NHS App or post your request in our prescription box.

🔔 Please note:
We do NOT take repeat prescription requests over the phone.

Thank you for your support!

Help using the NHS App or the NHS website.
