• Hand it in at the reception or drop it into the prescriptions box Use the printed slip that comes with your medication. Please allow at least 2 working days and only tick the items needed (the other items will remain on your next form).
• Put it through the letter box if we are closed
• Post it to us (attach a SAE and we will post it back if you prefer)
• Email your name, date of birth and requested medications to somccg.prescriptions.fwhc@nhs.net.
