Please may we request that patients organise their repeat medications in good time to ensure that medication does not ‘run out’ before a new prescription can be ordered and dispensed.
It is necessary to allow at least 3 full working days, from the request of the prescription, for the items to be re-prescribed and sent electronically to the patient’s designated pharmacy.
In some instances the pharmacy may not have the necessary medication in stock and an order may need to be placed, or an alternative sought, which in turn may delay the final issue of the medication.
In summary, we suggest you allow 5 working days from requesting your medication to collecting it from your chosen Pharmacy.
