External Healthcare Providers FAQ

Can you advise me of my local Health Visitor Clinic please?

our local Health Visitor Clinic takes place at Lord Lister Health Centre on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I don’t have time to go to a pharmacy to collect my medication; can I collect my prescription at your Practice please?

Apologies, but no, this is not possible because Woodgrange Medical Practice does not keep medication on the premises

This is because we do not have a pharmacist who is authorised to dispense medication.
