Important: Patient led ordering (repeat medication)
The way repeat prescriptions are ordered is changing. All patients (who are able to do so) are required to order prescriptions directly from the GP practice. This means that for the majority of patients, the pharmacy will no longer order prescriptions on their behalf.
Woodside are rolling out patient-led ordering (PLO) from 27.06.2025

Important: National Measles Vaccination
Cases of measles are on the rise in England and there is a growing public health risk. This has been declared a national incident.
You can read the most up to date advice and guidance here. If you’ve not had the 2 doses of the MMR vaccination then full details are provided on where to get vaccinated.
If you have symptoms of measles stay at home and phone your GP or NHS 111.
Please DO NOT attend the surgery or A&E without informing them that you think you have measles before your visit – you could spread the illness to others.
