Prescription Collection Bags - Arriving Soon!
Published: 23/11/21
We’re making a list, we’re checking it twice, we’re looking to see who’s picked up once or twice… Nope, not Santa coming to town, it’s our yearly delivery of courier bags on their way to you!
Look out for envelopes arriving in your pharmacy over the next few days with our CPS label on them, they contain your next year’s allocation of Parcelforce bags, along with some handy advice on preparing your prescriptions, the courier collection dates for 2022 and new receipt for your customer use only numbers.
Please continue to use your current bags for the remainder of this year’s prescription collections and keep your new ones in a safe place (but not so safe that you can’t find them!) until you need them.
Please contact Pharmacy Services on 0131 466 3540 or on pharmacy.services@cps.scot if you don’t receive your special delivery. For courier related queries, please see the Courier Service section of our website.
