PRESCRIPTIONS
Has the doctor prescribed you some medication or have you got a regular prescription you need? For ease and convenience, you can get your prescription delivered to campus for collection from SU Reception. Ask your Doctor to send your prescription to The Hythe Pharmacy who you can then instruct to deliver your prescriptions to campus. You will get an email when it’s ready to pick up from SU Reception.
