📢 PS24 📢

Once again we need to inform you that unfortunately the PS24 (prescription machine) is out of order.

The dispensary manager has been out to it already today and reset the machine, however it has gone off again within an hour 😩

Unfortunately the out of hours for the company who deals with the machine is terrible, so this cannot be done until Monday at 9am.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience and are working hard to resolve the recurring issues with it.

We will update you once we are back up and running again.

Thank you for your continued patience 😊

❗ Important ❗

Our Dispensary team are experiencing high levels of absence due to sickness and holiday.

*EDIT*
The machine is now back up and running. Keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞🏼
(The PS24 machine is also out of order again which is adding extra pressure on the team with patients collecting direct from the surgery)

Some patients may receive an SMS asking them to contact the surgery, this is important due to nationwide medication shortages.

Please can you be mindful about contacting the surgery and only do so if really necessary today, whilst the team deals with the items that need priority.

Please be patient with our team.

We really appreciate your help and support 🙏🏼

Important information regarding our PS24 (prescription medicine).

Unfortunately the miserable weather is causing problems for some people collecting medications from the machine.

If the weather continues throughout this evening you may encounter problems retrieving your prescriptions.

This is purely weather related and the issue should resolve once the weather improves.

Any problems, please contact the dispensary and our team will be happy to help 😊

🌟 Dispensary 🌟

In order to help our staff and help us to keep things running smoothly for you, please read the following -

1. You can only order 7 days before your medication is due.
If you order before that time the medication will not be ordered.
If you need it sooner, please speak to Dispensary.

2. Patients who use the PS24 (prescription machine) please remember to collect your medication on receiving your text message.
The machine only holds medication for four days and if it is not collected, our staff then have to remove it and reload. This creates more work and also blocks the machine for further medication to be loaded.
If you are unable to collect within the time, please speak to Dispensary.

3. Christmas... As you know it is an extremely busy time for surgery. Please try not to order unless necessary and if you do need to order your medication early, please speak to Dispensary.

Our hardworking staff really appreciate your patience and support.

Edit - now working 😊

We are having a problem with our phone line.
Please be patient with us as we try to rectify the problem.
The surgery is open as normal.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
