Please allow 3 working days for your prescription request to be reviewed by the surgery and sent to your nominated pharmacy. The time it takes for your prescription to be dispensed, is dependent on your nominated pharmacy. Neither the practice, nor the pharmacy can take responsibility for ensuring patients have enough of their own medication, only patients can do so. So please give enough time to order your prescriptions and allow them to be processed quickly and safely.
Any items not on repeat may take longer to process, so please bear with us and order in good time. If there are any expected delays beyond 3 working days, someone from the surgery will contact you.
You may need to have a discussion with the GP or the practice based pharmacist if you are ordering an item that is not on your repeat, or has not been ordered in a long time.
