InterCare
The Quarter Jack Surgery has teamed up with an organisation called InterCare which will send unwanted medicines and dressings to Africa. Under present UK guidance unused medicines which are returned get destroyed.
Naturally we are keen to avoid prescribing and issuing medicines which are not needed but if you do have such items we would encourage you to return them to the surgery and appropriate items will be sent on.
Please note we cannot accept equipment such as crutches, commodes etc.
