DO YOU NEED HELP WITH PRESCRIPTION COLLECTION AND DELIVERY, OR WITH SHOPPING?
Witney Scouts have set up a fantastic service in conjunction with Windrush Health Centre, but which is available to all Witney GP practices. Please call 07801 745 768 between 10 am and 12 noon or between 1 pm and 3.30 pm. If there is an answerphone message please leave:-
- your name
- your date of birth
- your address
- your telephone number
- the name of the pharmacy which you use and (if it has more than one branch – which branch you use eg Boots in the High Street or Boots on Deer Park).
The information will be logged and you will receive confirmation. It will then passed on to the groups who are physically collecting and delivering the medication.
If you have a medication which needs urgent delivery (eg less than 4 working hours) then Title that email URGENT Delivery Required and also write that in the body of the email. Any urgent deliveries can be directed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
* NB: if you are not exempt from paying for your prescriptions please contact the pharmacy first to either pay over the phone or advise the pharmacy of their exemption before contacting us to ask to be put on the list for collection.
If you have a repeat prescription, then order it in the usual way either electronically or by ringing the Practice. Volunteers will leave the medication at your front (or main access) door.
The expansion of this service is being provided by volunteers from the Scouts and the Land Army.
What is eConsult?
We now offer a service called eConsult which allows patients to contact our practice and clinicians for medical and administrative requests. Next time you need to contact the practice, click on the banner and fill out a request form.
eConsult is a free to use online consultation platform, which allows anyone registered at the practice to submit a medical or administrative request online at any time of the day, 7 days a week. Our team will review every request and make sure it is passed to the most relevant healthcare professional. If you need a face to face appointment we can arrange that for you, or it might even save you a trip to the practice. We will always get back to you by the end of the next working day, if not sooner.
