Home delivery of medicines during the COVID-19 emergency

It's essential that any of our patients who are 'high risk' and are shielding themselves at home can still receive medicines during the coronavirus pandemic. To enable this, there is now a special home delivery service FOR OUR PATIENTS WHO WOULD NORMALLY USE OUR DISPENSARY.

If you have had a 'shielding' letter from NHS England, or from your hospital consultant, or from us, and you do not have anyone who can collect and deliver your medication (family, friends or carers), then we will deliver to you.

We now have a fantastic team of volunteers in place who're able to deliver right around the villages near Bicester where our dispensing patients live. We are extremely grateful to all the volunteers who have enlisted to help out at this difficult time for everyone.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MESSAGE IS ONLY FOR PATIENTS WHO WOULD NORMALLY USE OUR DISPENSARY. IF YOU ARE A PATIENT THAT USUALLY PICKS UP MEDICINE FROM A PHARMACY THEN PLEASE CONTACT THAT PHARMACY - WHICH WILL THEN INFORM YOU OF THEIR OWN DELIVERY SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS.

If you are eligible for the dispensary delivery service and you would like more information then please contact the Alchester Dispensary team by email or phone: alchester.dispensary@nhs.net or 01869 248585 option 4

Thank you all for your continued support during this time.
