Changes to patient text messages about prescriptions

To help reduce costs and use NHS resources more efficiently, we will no longer routinely send text messages to confirm when prescriptions have been issued.

We will only contact you by text if we need to discuss a query regarding your prescription.

Most local pharmacies offer a notification service to let you know when your medication is ready to collect. You can also check the status of your prescription using the NHS App. To find out more about the NHS App, visit the NHS website

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
