  • Their contact telephone numbers

A list of locations and their contact telephone numbers can be found via the NHS Choices website or by telephoning NHS Direct 0845 4647.

Excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, all other community pharmacies in both counties are able to order in any drugs that are required, which they do not have in stock, for delivery the same day if the prescription is presented to the pharmacy before around noon that day.

For prescriptions presented after noon, drugs not in stock can usually be obtained for supply the following morning.

The cut-off times for same day and next day delivery may vary somewhat between pharmacies – do check with the relevant pharmacy.

For weekends and Bank Holidays, stock ordering and delivery arrangements, please telephone the pharmacy in question.
