Remember to #OnlyOrderWhatYouNeed
Repeat prescriptions? Only order what you need. If you have enough medicines at home, there's no need to request more - you can request more in the future.
Every year around 1.2 million repeat prescription medicine items go to waste across Surrey Heartlands.
When medicines are wasted, they can’t be reused or recycled, and this adds to pollution and harms wildlife.

When it comes to medicines, only order what you need. Speak to your pharmacist if you have any questions. For more information visit surreyheartlands.org/medicines-waste
