People can find contact details for their nearest pharmacy by visiting: nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/pharmacies/

People who have a prescription request and are unable to collect this personally are asked in the first instance if they can arrange for this to be collected on their behalf by a family member, friend or neighbour. If this is not an option, they can be delivered by a doctor or pharmacy (if that service is available).

This will assist the CCG with the large quantity of requests which they are anticipating.

If this option is unavailable, please contact St Helens Together by calling 01744 676767.
