• a memorable word that is 8 characters or more long
• a phone number to receive text alerts (mobile phone preferred)

• Once registered you will need to verify your account via an email link

The process takes less than 5 minutes and will save you time and effort of having to visit the dispensary to order repeat prescriptions.

NOTE: some services offered are private (Non-NHS) and must be paid for. These are clearly described as such.

• The best place to start is the “Menu” button at the top left.
• There is a limited appointment booking facility – this will vary from time to time, and offers things like flu vaccination appointments but not, at present, general appointments.
• There is a repeat prescription order facility – this saves you having to drop in or phone in a request, and as the Dispensary receives the request electronically it saves them time as well.
• You can access NHS “Self-referral” services.
• You can view, and save, your records of allergies and medications.
• You can view recent past appointments.
