📢 We’re Introducing a New Pharmacy System!

We’re excited to let you know that we’re currently introducing a new pharmacy system, bringing new features and improvements to the way we manage your prescriptions.

As our team learns the new system, you may temporarily experience slightly longer waiting times. We really appreciate your patience and understanding while we get up to speed.

One of the new features is prescription collection text notifications. If we have your mobile number on record, you’ll now receive a text message when your prescription is ready to collect! This will help to reduce unnecessary waiting and keep you better informed throughout the process.

Thank you for your continued support while we make this transition. 💜

🌍 World Environment Day 🌍

At Cyncoed Pharmacy, we’re committed to finding ways to reduce waste and make our services more environmentally friendly.

One of the easiest ways patients can help is by using the NHS App to manage their prescriptions. Through the app, you can:

✅ Order repeat prescriptions
✅ Track the progress of your prescription request
✅ View your repeat medication list
✅ Manage your prescriptions anytime, anywhere

You can also help reduce paper use by nominating a pharmacy to receive your prescriptions electronically. If you haven’t already nominated a pharmacy, our team can help you set this up.

Electronic prescribing helps reduce paper waste and cuts down on unnecessary journeys between GP surgeries and pharmacies.

As more prescriptions are now sent electronically, we will gradually be reducing our collections of paper prescriptions from GP surgeries. This change supports a more efficient, sustainable service while ensuring patients continue to receive their medication as normal.

By choosing digital services where possible, you’re helping to:

🌱 Reduce paper waste
🚗 Reduce unnecessary travel
📱 Access your prescriptions more conveniently
♻️ Support a greener NHS

Small changes can make a big difference. This World Environment Day, why not download the NHS App to manage your prescriptions more conveniently?

If you’d like to learn more about the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) and find out whether your GP surgery is EPS-enabled, visit our website for more information.

Discover what the Electronic Prescription Service means for your prescriptions. Launching soon at Cyncoed Pharmacy.

⚠️ Meningitis B Vaccine Update ⚠️

Following the recent tragic news of a student death and confirmed meningitis cases linked to the Reading/Oxfordshire area, awareness around meningococcal infection has understandably increased.

Meningitis B can be a serious infection and can progress rapidly. Early symptoms can often resemble flu-like illness, making awareness and early recognition especially important.

Young people, students and those living in shared accommodation may be at increased risk. For symptoms and advice, visit the NHS website:
www.nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis

The Meningitis B vaccination is now available at Cyncoed Pharmacy for eligible private appointments.

➡️ To book an appointment, visit: www.cyncoedpharmacy.co.uk/book-now

Meningitis can become very serious if not treated quickly. If you are concerned about symptoms, please seek urgent medical advice.

Vaccination saves lives. 💉

It’s one of the most important things we can do to protect ourselves, our children and our communities from serious illness.

A simple action that makes a real difference. 🌍
