Pharmacy referral left without prescription support

I was offered a pharmacy referral and accepted it, understanding the pressures on the service. I was content to skip a standard appointment if I could obtain medication through this route. However, when I attended the pharmacy, I was given a diagnosis and informed that the prescribed eye drops would cost more than a standard prescription charge. I requested a prescription instead. The pharmacy attempted to contact the surgery by phone to arrange this, but their calls went unanswered repeatedly. I then called the main line myself and was told a telephone appointment would be scheduled for the afternoon, but no call came through. As this occurred on a Friday, I was left without the medication I needed over the weekend. I found this experience frustrating and unhelpful. I will reconsider using the pharmacy referral service in future and will book a standard appointment instead. The overall service fell well short of expectations.
