We are aware that Jhoots Pharmacy on Uplyme Road is temporarily closed. This may be affecting the way you normally collect or receive your prescription medications. 
 
We understand this closure may be causing you some concern, and we are working with NHS Dorset and the pharmacy to restore normal services.  

In the meantime, we’ve pulled together some alternative options to help you get your medications. Please allow plenty of extra time when ordering your medications to ensure you have what you need when you need it. 
 
Change your chosen pharmacy through the NHS app

How to change your pharmacy on the NHS app

Follow the instructions to choose your new pharmacy 

Don't have access to the NHS App?
If you do not have access to the NHS App please email your change of nominated pharmacy to: administrator.lyme@dorsetgp.nhs.uk

Use an online pharmacy  
There are lots of pharmacies online that will deliver your prescriptions to you at home free of charge.  
The NHS website has a list of online pharmacies for you to choose from. 
 
Printed prescriptions from us 
If you are unable to travel or access digital services, we can print your prescription so a family member or carer can collect it and take it to a different pharmacy to be filled.
