Safe Disposal of Unwanted Medicines
Every year, large amounts of medicines improperly discarded find their way into landfills and water systems, affecting wildlife and potentially entering our drinking water. Taking a moment to return your medications helps protect both the planet and our communities. Together, we can make a difference by disposing of medicines responsibly. Bring any unused prescription or over-the-counter medications to your pharmacy, where we’ll dispose of them safely and at no cost to you..
Pharmacy First
The Pharmacy First service builds on the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service which has run since October 2019. The consultation service enables patients to be referred into community pharmacy for a minor illness or an urgent repeat medicine supply.
