MANAGED REPEATS
Do you struggle to remember to order your medication on time? Are you due items at different times of the month? Do you collect items for friends and family members?
Let us take the stress out of it for you.
We can organise it so that you only have to visit us once every 28 days to collect all your items at once. Each time you collect your items, you order whatever you will need next month and leave the order form with us - no need to call back in with it or telephone.
We will give you a date to come back which is convenient for you or you can have it delivered and then whole thing starts again. If you run out in-between don’t worry you can still place an order and if you find you no longer need something just give it back to us when you collect. Please speak to a dispenser for more details.

Recycle your inhalers at Winterton and Burton Dispensary.
Complete the Cycle is GSK's recycling and recovery scheme for all respiratory inhalers, and is the first of its kind. We aim to provide a convenient way for patients to recycle their inhalers, to help reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and move towards a more environmentally sustainable approach to treating respiratory disease.
Why should I recycle my inhalers?
Approximately 73 million respiratory inhalers are used in the UK each year with at least 63% being placed in domestic bins after use which then end up in landfill.
Complete the Cycle is an easy and convenient way to recycle your inhalers and prevents the waste generated from their disposal from harming the environment.
What happens to the inhalers?
The inhalers will be collected by a company called Movianto, as part of routine deliveries - so no extra miles are travelled in the administration of this scheme. The inhalers will be taken to a waste management company to be sorted for recycling or recovery. Recovery means using the non-recyclable inhaler waste as a fuel or other means to generate energy. They will recycle or recover every respiratory inhaler collected, including those manufactured by companies other than GSK.
You really can make a difference by returning your used inhalers to either of our dispensaries and participating in Complete the Cycle.
