Only those patients without internet access should be using the telephone line.
New Prescription Line Access Times:

2pm - 2.30pm
The online system provides you with 24hr access and prevents frustrating queuing. Registration is extremely easy, you can also do this from your smart phone! Please register on the 'Prescription Tab' on this site. Please allow 48/72hrs for your prescription to arrive at your pharmacy.
