Frustrating prescription process at local clinic

Obtaining a repeat prescription from this medical practice is a cumbersome process. The thought of calling to schedule an appointment fills me with anxiety, as the phone lines are perpetually busy and when someone finally answers, the earliest available slot is invariably weeks in the future.

I am sorry that you are experiencing difficulties in requesting a repeat prescription. We do not allow telephone requests for this for safety reasons, but requests can be made in writing, dropping off your repeat slip at the surgery or via Patient Access (which requires registration). We are continuing to work with our telephone suppliers to ensure that our new telephone system is as effective as possible but do appreciate that there have been some teething problems with this. We always have appointments available on the day with GPs and nurse practitioners for the more urgent requests but unfortunately, due to staff sickness, our wait for routine appointments is, at the moment, a little longer than we would like. Should you wish to discuss your problems further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Regards, Louise Walker, Practice Manager
