If you are given a prescription

Before you leave the pharmacy, please make sure you know when and how to take your medication. The directions will be printed on the label, but if you have any questions or the instructions are unclear, the pharmacy staff will be pleased to explain everything to you.

Prescriptions for NHS patients are free from The Christie pharmacy. Prescriptions are also free for NHS patients being treated for cancer from community pharmacies but you will need an exemption certificate. Application forms are available from your GP or The Christie socal work department.
