Prescription advice        

For prescription requests YOU MUST NOT come into Surgery and we are unable to take your request over the phone. Please choose from one of the options below:- 

• You can use online access if you are registered
• You or someone on your behalf can send us an email (wiccg.stcatherinessurgery@nhs.net) - just make sure you include your name date of birth and the medication you need
• You can post via Royal Mail (St Catherine’s Surgery, 1st & 2nd Floor, Wing 4, St Catherine’s Health Centre, Church Road, Birkenhead, CH42 0LQ). We would advise that you post you request when you have no less than 10 days of medication left.

Your prescription will be sent to your nominated pharmacy – please advise us of your chemist choice if you don't have one. We endeavour to complete your prescription request within our 2 working days, although due to the current strain on services, there may be a delay. We cannot accept prescription requests earlier than 7 days in advance or requests for increase of usual quantities due to NHS guidelines.
