You will not need to collect the medication from the pharmacy department in the hospital or get a prescription from your GP. Instead, your prescription will be sent directly to the homecare provider specified. Within a few days of receiving your prescription the homecare provider will call you to arrange a time and location for the delivery of your medication (and any other items required to use the medicine such as syringes). In addition to this page, you may be sent an information pack from the homecare provider. The pack will give you more details about the service they offer and provide you with the contact details of the homecare Patient Services department.
