The practice aim to process all routine prescriptions within 72 hours. If your prescription requires a review or is complex your request may take up to 7 days to process. Your pharmacy can take several days to obtain the items requested because of long-term shortages of supplies coming into the UK of many common medications. Please allow this extra time to make sure you do not run out, and to avoid having to push prescriptions through quickly, to the disadvantage of others.
When ordering a repeat medication, if the doctor indicates that a review is required you will be given one final prescription to allow time to make an appointment for a medication review.
To reduce the occurrence of transcription and/or prescribing errors, telephone/verbal requests or face-to-face requests at surgery receptions will not be accepted. |
