All repeat prescriptions are computerised as this increases efficiency and reduces the chances of errors being made.
We ask you to give at least 2 working days notice prior to collection, unless in an emergency. We particularly request that you do not phone the surgery several hours after ordering the script to “see if it is ready” as takes up a lot of time for the administration staff and makes it harder for other patients to get through on the phone.
We do not “phone scripts through” to the chemist, and since 1 September 2011 our policy has been not to fax scripts (only in clinical emergencies) as this leads to mistakes and breaches patient confidentiality with possible significant consequences. All local chemists have routine collections of scripts from the surgery. If you want the chemist to collect your script for you please contact the chemist and ensure that you have given sufficient extra time when requesting the script.
Please also note that your Chemist is unable to dispense your medication without a prescription as they are legally bound to be in receipt of a prescription before supplying medication.
