Only request the medicines you need

Did you know that approximately £2.6 million worth of medicine items are wasted unnecessarily in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin each year?

We need your help to reduce this waste. The new campaign launched by NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin is asking residents to 'Think Twice, Order Right' before requesting repeat prescriptions. By checking which medicines you have at home and only requesting what you need, you will help protect NHS resources, keep medicines available for those that need them, and prevent unnecessary environmental harm.
