Repeat Medication Requests

Over the last 2 weeks we have had a massive amount of duplicated repeat medications requests returned by the pharmacies.

On investigation, this has shown that patients are not allowing the 72 hours (3 working days) from ordering their script to be processed by ourselves and the nominated pharmacy, with requests printed more than once.

When you order your repeat medication/s, there are steps and checks involved for our admin and clinician staff to ensure safe prescribing and only signed by a GP after they finish in surgery which is towards the end of the working day. Your nominated pharmacy also needs time to collect from all the local practices.

Please ensure that you order your repeat medications with enough time to allow our practice, your nominated pharmacy the time to ensure your request is processed.

Patient Access has replaced Patient Services and is the new platform for managing some of your health needs online. This includes the ordering of your repeat medications.

Within the app you can see:
When an item was last ordered. Quantity received. When next item is due.
Status of your order request, ie pending approval, approved or if there is a query.
